 to the General Fund, and used for tlie printing of Part 11. of Tlie 

 Catalogue of Antiquities, lately issued. The Museum Maintenance 

 Fund received during the year, in subscriptions, £45 Is. 6rZ., by 

 sale of duplicate books, etc., £9 9s. llr^., and by admissions to the

 iunount of trouble if Members would pay tlieir subscriptions by 

 l>anker's order or regularly at the beginning of eacli year when 

 they are due.
