authorities, but the Committee is not without hope that the 
Society will ere long receive help from Government ; meanwhile 
it has to face a difficult situation caused through the Society 
having no one who can devote the necessary time to the work 
of the curatorship. 
The Journal maintains the high standard of excellence 
which the Editors set before them at its inception. This is 
evinced by the continual requests which are being received 
from various societies for exchange of publications, and the 
favourable notices appearing in the scientific press. 
It is hoped that the members will not relax their efforts 
to secure articles and notes which will be acceptable for its 
columns, as the Editors do not find that the task of getting each 
number ready for the publishers is in anyway becoming easier, 
despite the increased membership. 
In conclusion, the Committee tenders the hearty thanks 
of the Society to those of the members and other individuals 
who have helped during the year either by donations to the 
Museum, contributions to the Journal, papers given at mem- 
bers’ meetings, or assistance rendered in the Museum.
