A further increase in the membership is especially desirable at the 
present time to enable the Society to carry on the new activities and 
to offer further facilities, and it is hoped that members will introduce 
as many of their friends as possible. [Attention is drawn to the intro- 
duction of Junior Membership at half the present rate of the Ordinary 
subscription. A Prospectus of the Society’s activities is now available 
on application.] 
During the year three members have acted as Hon. General Secre- 
tary : Mr Chappie, who has served the Society for many years in various 
ways had to resign the Secretaryship on taking up his appointment 
with Messrs Longman’s and Mr Wilmott kindly assumed the duties 
until r was able to take over in October. Members will ap]u-eciate that 
this report is therefore of a somewhat hybrid nature, and will, f ho])e, 
receive it with indulgence. 
The Society has been indebted to the Linnean Society for the use c'f 
their rooms on several occasions and thanks are due to so many in- 
dividuals both inside and outside the Society, that it is not possible to 
name them here. Tn addition to the appointment of Mr Swann as Hoix. 
Assistant Treasurer, members will be pleased to know that in December 
the Council appointed Mr W. R. Price as Hon. Assistant Secretary to 
take effect as from January 1st, 1948. 
Jn conclusion, I would urge members to take full advantage of the 
services now offered and can assure them that I am always willing to 
help in any way possible. .
