TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1895.

The income of the Institute for the year 1895 froin subscriptions, publications, and interest, was ?514 2s. 8d., being ?113 16s. 3d. less tlhan was received from the same sources in 1894. Of this dimiinution nearly ?75 occurs in the subscriptions, and ?38 odd in the publications. The decrease in the returni from publications is largely due to the fact that last year's account included several copies of the Index, which caused it to exceed the average amount received; the amiount received in 1895, is in fact in excess of that received in 1893. The decrease in subscriptions is also more apparent than real; we have received only two life compositions in 1895, as against three in 1894, and, whereas in 1894 we received ?16 16s. in advance for 1895, in 1895 we received only ?2 2s. in advance for 1896; a sm-aller sum was received also for subscriptions in arrear, because the arrears had already been pretty thoroughly dealt with. The annual subscriptions for the year 1895 were therefore substantially the same as those for the year 1894.

The expenditure for the year under ordinary heads was ?554 5s. 3d., but, as we have paid for five Journals instead of four during the year, it must, for purposes of comparison, be taken as ?511 15s. 3d., being ?59 5s. 6d. less than in 1894, and ?2 7s. 5d. less than the income for 1895. Of the decrease ?34 occurred in connection with the Journal, ?12 in salaries and commissions, ?6 in stamps and parcels, and ?6 in printing and stationery.

Out of the amount received last year ?20 17s. 4d. have been spent in binding, and ?4 in the purchase of a lantern, which is

Total.. .. .. ?130 0 0

The assets at the samne date were ?600 Metropolitan Board of Works Stock (worth about ?720), cash in hand and at the Bankers ?144 3s. 7d., some unpaid subscriptions, and the library, furniture, and stock of publications.
