NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT, 1904-1905. 
Adopted at the Annual Meeting, May 3, 1905. 
I. — General. 
HROUGHOUT the year which has passed, increasing 
interest has on all sides been manifested in the work of 
the Selborne Society, and your Council has particularly 
to thank Mr. Marshman Wattson for the improved finan- 
cial position in which he placed the Society during his period of 
office as Secretary. 
The Annual Meeting, owing to the kindness of the Civil 
Service Commissioners and His Majesty’s Office of Works, was 
organised most successfully upon a much larger scale than 
previously, and was calculated to give greater publicity to the 
efforts of the Society, which still needs to have many more 
members and far greater resources if it is to push forward its 
objects to the extent which it could well do. 
The Restoration af Selborne Church . — Your Council called atten- 
tion to the fund for repairing Selborne Church and its bells, with 
some effect, and itself made a contribution.
