Library, Oxford, which the University kindly enabled the Branch 

 Society to use. The President edited the text, and the Council 

 wish to record their gratitude to him for doing so. 



In accordance with plans determined on in 1914, the parts of 

 the journal were paged so as to make an annual volume, the Malay 

 text forming an appendix. A title page and an index will be issued 

 with the small part still unpublished. 



The Council printed 550 copies of the first two parts but 1000 

 of the last, so that it may be sold to the public. As the text has 

 been stereotyped, a second edition, if called for, will cost little. 

 In order to sell the first edition the price has been fixed as low as 

 the Society's expenses in procuring the rotographic copy of the 

 manuscript, in transcribing and in printing permit. 



Towards the 1916 Journal, the Council has eight papers ac- 

 tually in hand, including the Hikayat Marong Maha-wangsa or 

 Annals of Kedah, promised in the Annual Report for 1914. As 

 additional to the Journal, the Council has undertaken to publish 

 the Reports on the Robinson-Kloss expedition to Korinchi Peak, 

 Sumatra, and has put a part of the illustrations already into 

 preparation. 



Map. Subject to confirmation at the annual meeting the 

 Council has decided to abandon its preparations for a new edition 

 of the Map of the Malay Peninsula in consequence of the projection 

 of a similar map by the F. M. S. Survey Department. 



Library. One hundred and eighty-two volumes have been 

 bound. They have been put onto the shelves, but cause a conges- 

 tion which necessitates a rearrangement, A pair of pigeon-hole 

 almairahs have been constructed especially for the holding of un- 

 bound periodicals. 



Photographic Becord. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining per- 

 manent photographic paper during the war, little progress has been 

 made with the Photographic Becord. Messrs. Topham, Jones and 

 Railton have been so good as to present photographs and several 

 members have offered negatives. 



Finances. The expenditure for the year exceeded the revenue.
