' The figures for 1843 are taken from the December report, after the removal of the names of 
members who bad discontinued their subscriptions ; but it was reported in tlie previous May that 
1,43G had been elected during the preceding twelve months, bringing the thou nominal total to 
7,285. In all other cases, from 1840 to 1890, the figures arc from the reports of the Council to the 
anniversary meeting on May 22. It should, however, be observed that the totals were occasionally 
ailccted by th« necessary revision of the list.
