REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 
OF THE 
YORKSHIRE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, 
February 6th, 1894. 
The Council, in presenting their Annual Report for the 
year 1893, congratulate the members on the prospects of 
the Society, and of the Sciences which it was founded to 
promote. 
In reports of annual recurrence much variety cannot be 
expected, and the rule hitherto adopted will be followed 
on the present occasion; first, briefly to state the present 
condition of the Finances, and then to deal with the 
various departments of Science as set forth in the reports 
of the respective Curators. The Balance Sheet, as audited, 
will be laid upon the table and will be more particularly 
referred to by the Treasurer after the Report has been read. 
The total income of the Society for the past year is 
£1,114 14s. 7d., and the expenditure for the year, by one of 
those strange freaks in figures, is within Is. of the same 
amount. 
The shilling, however, is on the right side, and that amount 
represents the excess of income over expenditure. 
The Gate money for the past year amounts to the sum of 
£225 18s. 4d., whilst in the previous year the Society realised 
£232 5s. 2d. from that source, leaving a balance of £6 6s. lOd. 
in favour of the previous year. The receipts from subscribing 
Members, including County Members, Lady Subscribers, and 
Associates, and sums paid for Keys of the Gates amount to the 
sum of £703. These two sums form the principal items of 
income, and the other receipts call for no particular comment 
as these are much the same as in previous years. The out¬ 
goings will be read from the Balance Sheet by the Treasurer. 
There is only one item which specially requires notice, that is
