Annual Report of the Council.

Stephens, Dr. Robert Brown, M. Ploix, and Professor Dragomanov, and M. Fleury; 20 members have resigned and 25 have been elected, so that the Council have to regret a decrease of 3 in the member roll, which now stands at 393.

The accounts of the Society, as audited, are presented herewith.

In conclusion the Council feel that the increasing demands on the Society, especially in connection with the issue of important works which their funds compel them to postpone or decline, justify a special appeal to the members to interest their friends in the science generally, and in the work of the Society in particular. The Council would further point out how large a field there is for the activity of members in recording local folklore.

Edward Clodd, President.
