At the close of last Session, your Council were requested 
to endeavour to make arrangements with the Parent Society 
by which Associates could be admitted on more favourable 
terms. They have to report that the liberality of the 
Parent Society has enabled them materially to modify the 
regulations affecting the admission of this class of Members, 
and trust that, owing to the alteration, a great accession of 
strength will be gained.
