at 329, -comprising 10 Honorary Members, 4 
Membership 'Corresponding Members and 315 Ordinary Mem- 
bers. 
During the year under review 55 new members (4 Correspond- 
ing Members and 51 Ordinary Members) were elected by the 
Council. This total compares very favourably with an average, 
over the last five years, of 22 new members per annum. The report 
for 1909 recorded a total of 46 new members for that year as the 
largest number elected' in any one year in the history of the Society 
up to that date. In 1910 this number was easily surpassed, no 
less than 73 new members being 'added in that year. Since then 
the annual infusion of new blood has been less pronounced. The 
total of 55 for 1920, however, indicates a healthy revival in the 
activity of the Society.
