80 REPORTS. 



At the beginning of the year, the Society by a unanimous 

 vote at an Extraordinary General Meeting decided to sub- 

 stitute a less cumbersome title for its name, and resolved to 

 re-christen it La Societe Guernesiaise. This name had been 

 used by a Society established in 1865 for practically the 

 same objects as this Society, but had become defunct in 1888. 



In the last year's report, reference was made to the 

 finances of the Society. By means of a generous donation 

 from the Guille-Alles Library of £15 and the profit from 

 the Soiree in February added to the extra subscriptions due 

 to an increased membership, the Society is now well in funds 

 and has been able to issue a considerably larger volume of 

 Transactions, 



Membership. 



There are 140 Members this year against 107 last year. 

 Obituary. 



Six Members of the Society have died during the year. 

 Mr. A. Collenette, F.C.S., Miss C. M. de Guerin, Miss R. 

 Corbin, Col. G. H. Le Mottee, Gen. J. R. Harvey and Dr. 

 G. H. Woolcombe. 



Mr. Collenette was an original Member and probably 

 the most active worker the Society has ever had. A Memoir 

 will be found in these Transactions. 



The Council has again to express its warmest thanks to 

 the Management of the Guille-Alles Library, on behalf of 

 the Members, for its continued interest in the affairs of the 

 Society, for the loan of the room for meetings and the use 

 of the lantern, and above all for its welcome gift to the Funds 

 of the Society.
