On the Receipts’ side, the estimate, under the head of “Subscrip¬ 
tions,” has been reduced by Rs. 400, taking into account the unusual loss 
of Members during last, year. “.Interest on Investments ” shows a 
reduction of Rs. 332, owing to the transfer of the Government Promis¬ 
sory Notes from the four per cent, to the 3§ per cent. loan. The 
amount of Rs. 500 not having been received during the year from the 
Government of Madras, the item .under the head of “ Government Al¬ 
lowances ” has not been altered.

“ Local Periodicals ” have been slightly decreased. “Stationery” has 
been decreased by Rs. 50, the compilation of the Society’s Library 
Catalogue being far advanced. The item of “Postage” has been re¬ 
duced by Rs. 50; as the expenditure of last year has been smaller than 
usual. There is a reduction of Rs. 500 in the budget under the head 
of Journal , Part III, which provides only for printing charges. This 
sum has been distributed under the heads of “ Postage,” “ Contin¬
