Finances: The grant of 1;75 received during tlu' y{*ar from tlie 
(xovernment has ])laced tlu‘ finances of the Society on a far more 
satisfactory footing than was tlie case last year. But it is to be 
not'ul that while* tin* Kinancial Statement shows a credit balance* of 
a little over £70, ye‘t it is estijuated that a further sum of at least 
£80 will be r('(|uired to coni])lete the ])nblication of the curreuit 
volume. Thus it would a])])ear that a grant of £75 at the ])reseiU 
time enables tlie Seu-iety just to ui(‘et the costs of ])rinting, and does 
not ])i'ovide for the increase-d ('xjMUiditnre urgently needed in otluu- 
elirections. It has therefore been decidetl to approach the Govi'rn- 
nu'iit with a view to securing an increased grant for the coming year, 
FnhUeaiinns : Up to the present 7 numbers of Volume XT I. 
of the Journal have been publisluul at a cost of about £70. However, 
as 10 or 11 further contributions have been received, or are in coui'se 
of prejiaration, and as these are accompanied by a number of plates 
and text-figures, tin* final cost of Volume XII, will lie at least £150.
