We desire to thank the Council for the sympathetic attitude 
they have adopted in regard to the provision of money to buy 
books, and in the still more important matter of staff to render 
accessible the books already in the possession of the Society.

The weather of 1916 can hardly be described as ideal, 
real summer weather being limited to about one week. The 
ripening of crops and fruit was retarded, and general conditions 
were favourable to the development of disease among potatoes. 
The shifting of the c.g. of the rainfall from the west towards 
east, noted in last year’s report, is again noticeable and is 
well exhibited in the chart illustrating the report on the British 
rainfall published in “ The Times.”
