REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 
OF THE 
YOEKSHIEE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, 
March 3rd, 1874. 
The Council now present to the Members the Fifty-first 
Annual Eeport of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. 
As the Treasurer’s Balance Sheet to be appended to this 
Eeport will fully particularize the various items of income and 
expenditure, it will not be necessary to refer in this part of the 
report to matters of finance, except to notice such as may be 
considered of special interest. 
The income of the Society for the past year has amounted to 
the sum of £1,438 6s., and the expenditure to £1,424 Os. 4d., 
leaving a balance in the Treasurer’s hands of £14 5s. 8d. 
The extraordinary items of expenditure are the following : 
£76 18s. Id. for new cases for the exhibition of the antiquarian 
specimens in the Hospitium, an outlay indispensable for the 
display of the many objects of antiquity which have accumu¬ 
lated during the past two years, and of which the valuable 
collection kindly presented by the Eev. J. Kenrick forms the 
chief part. 
A fiudher sum of £40 4s. 8d. has been expended in the 
purchase of specimens including several objects of antiquity. 
A considerable outlay has been incurred in the repair of the 
Conservatories amounting altogether to the sum of £72 10s. ; 
£50, however, of this sum has been given as a donation to the 
Society by John Eoper, of Clifton Croft, Esq., so that the actual 
cost to the Society does not exceed £22 10s.
