The Chairman then called upon the Secretary to read the 
Report of the Committee for 1920, viz.:— 
“ The Committee regret that they have to report that the 
financial position for 1920 is even more unsatisfactory than 
that for 1919, and the year under report ended with an 
adverse balance of practically £190. The reason for 
this adverse balance is entirely the great cost of publishing 
4 The Ibis/ which increased from £1000 in 1919 to practi¬ 
cally £1300 in 1920. At the same time it should be noted 
that 4 The Ibis’ for 1920 contained a greater number of 
pages than that of a normal year. 
44 To meet the deficit in the Society’s funds, the Com¬ 
mittee recommended at a special General Meeting called 
together on the 13th of October that the subscription should 
be raised to £2. This recommendation was unanimously 
adopted, and will be put before the present meeting for 
confirmation. The Committee are very glad to report that, 
pending this confirmation, a large majority of the members 
of the Union have already subscribed the fall £2 for the 
present year. 
44 The Trustees of the British Museum have, we regret to 
say, declined to again give us any donation towards the cost 
of publishing Museum articles in 4 The Ibis/ but it is still 
hoped that they may be induced to contribute something 
towards the actual expenses of such articles.
