The Accounts of the Society for the year 1866 show that its 
finances are in a prosperous condition. Of the variable sources 
of income, the Swimming Bath is rather below the average, the 
amount produced by it being only £84 3s. 5d. The tent 
realised £21 15s. But the money received at the gates exceeds 
that of any previous year by nearly £100, being no le'ss than 
£336 4s. 9d. Of course this large amount is mainly due to the 
the great number of Visitors who came to the Exhibition dining 
the three months it was open. The total income of the year is 
£1497 5s. 6d. Of the expenditure one or two items only call 
for remark. The amount charged for general expenses and 
repairs, viz., £172 13s. 10cl., is considerably less than for the 
previous two years. The sum charged under the head of 
“ Purchase and Preparation of Specimens,” on the contrary, is 
larger than usual. The total expenditure of the year 1866 
amounts to £1455 19s. 4d., leaving an excess of income of 
£41 6s. 2d. This, deducted from the balance of £272 4s. 0d., 
standing against the Society at 31st December, 1865, leaves a 
sum of £230 17s. lOd. due to the Treasurer at the end of 
last year.
