The printing of Volume VI., third series, of the Society’s 
Memoirs has been completed, and several of the above 
papers have been passed by the Council for printing in a 
new volume. 
The Council still consider it desirable to continue the 
system of electing Sectional Associates, and a resolution on 
the subject will again be submitted at the annual meet- 
ing for the approval of the members. 
The Librarian reports that the binding of the books is so 
far completed, that not much more money will be required, 
except for binding the periodicals as the current volumes 
are completed. 
The number of Societies we correspond with is the same 
as last year, and no books of special interest have been 
added to the library. 
On the motion of Mr. A. Brothers, seconded by Dr. 
James Bottomley, the Report was unanimously adopted, 
and ordered to be printed in the Society’s Proceedings. 
On the motion of Mr. R. S. Dale, seconded by Mr. H. 
Grimshaw, it was resolved unanimously : — That the system 
of electing Sectional Associates be continued during the 
ensuing Session.
