TREASURERS' REPORT. 
1875-76, 
The Accounts for the past twelve months show, for the first time 
for several years, a balance in favonr of the Society. Although 
the total income is not so large as in some past years, the sum paid 
as Annual Subscriptions amounts to £184 3s. 6d., being £7 15s. in 
excess of last year ; the largest sum ever received under this head. 
There is no doubt that this increase is mainly due to the additional 
value of the Eeports now published. 
The balance in hand includes a sum of £7 Is., a donation from 
Dr. Holmes, kindly given for the purchase of books for the Library, 
on the expiration of his term of office as President. 
The expenditure calls for little remark, the figures appearing 
under each head being much as usual. But £10 13s. Id. for 
Conversazioni is heavier than for some time past; and £14 16s. 
has been paid for the illustrations of last year's Eeport. 
The debt to the Bank, £100, bearing interest at £4 per cent., 
still remains due. 
It is evident that any extraordinary expenditure upon the 
building, as proposed, must be met by borrowing money, the 
income being only sufficient, taking one year with another, to 
meet the current expenses.
