FINANCIAL STATEMENT 
of the Journal as compared with the pre-war £25 ? Thus 
every subscription not paid when due hampers the regular 
appearance of the publication. 
Library . — The Library continues to receive publications 
from other Societies by exchange or otherwise, but the 
advisability of purchasing standard Reference Works will 
have to be considered in the near future. 
Members' Meetings . — It is to be regretted that so few 
members have been willing to read original papers at the 
evening meetings ; thus your Committee was unable to arrange 
more than two meetings during the year. On both occasions 
the attendance was not what it ought to be ! 
Committee Meetings . — Your Committee met on six occasions 
to attend to Society business. Three members elected to the 
Committee at the last Annual General Meeting went on leave ; 
the vacancies were filled in accordance with Rule 9a. 
Funds . — The Illustration Fund has not received the 
support it deserves ; few members have contributed thereto. 
The Building Fund also has not received any really sub- 
stantial donations. The Exhibition of Nature Photographs 
and Colour Drawings arranged in aid of this Fund resulted 
in the sum of Rs.320 being realised. 
Financial . — The balance in favour of the Society, after 
meeting all liabilities, amounts to Rs.10,600 ; of this, Rs.6,975 
has been earmarked for building purposes. The income for 
the year was Rs.2934, an increase of Rs.1500 over that of 
1917. 
The Committee takes this opportunity of thanking Mr. 
Kempe for his kindness in auditing the accounts. 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT 
By the Honorary Treasurer 
The annual balance sheet is not ready for presentation,
