To complete this comparative review of the financial position of the 

 Society, the statement of assets and liabilities may be given as follows, 

 omitting fractional sums, — 



Cash Assets. Outstanding. Gross Assets. Liabilities.

The Council believe that this statement fully justifies the expec- 

 tations expressed in their report of last year, that with economy and 

 careful management, the Society's Finances will be restored to their 

 former prosperity long before the removal of the Society to the new 

 museum building. 



In framing their Budget for the coming year, they are, however, 

 mindful that this object is not yet attained, and that economy 

 will be no less necessary in the coming than in the past year. The 

 income has been estimated on the basis of an average of the last five 

 years, and the expenditure as far as possible also, and, as in the last 

 year, a certain margin will be allowed on the larger items for reducing 

 the actual liabilities. Any excess of income over the estimate will be 

 devoted to the same purpose.
