REPORT OF THE HONORARY TREASURER 
FOR 
TM mm BTOEJ© 
I am happy to be able to show by the accompanying 
Balance Sheet lor 187G that the estimates given for the 
past year have been exceeded to a considerable amount 
both under the head of Subscriptions, and Diplomas, and 
that the balance in hand at the end of the year was not 
,€50 but €101.1.8. 
There remained unpaid a sum of 8230.20 chargeable 
to last year, and included in this year’s estimates ; but 
the account was called upon to meet demands for a like 
sum, quite unlooked for, in the deficiency in the Exhi- 
bitions of September and December, and it is to be re- 
gretted that the funds for this year will have to support 
another reduction of some Rs. 000 on account of the 
Exhibition held at the Triplc-Esperance in December. 
I would suggest that some steps be taken to reduce 
the charge for printing the Transactions which last year 
amounted to nearly €40. 
The estimates for this year have been carefully consi- 
dered, and I hope to sec them fully realized.
