The Council has pleasure in presenting its sixty-seventh Annual Report. During the year the Society has lost twenty-eight members by death and resignation. Eighty-four new members have been added to its roll. The Council welcomes this evidence of the growing interest that is being shown in the work of the Society, and hopes that every effort will be made during 1920 to bring the membership up to a total of 500. The Council desires to express its sense of the great loss sustained by archæology as a whole, and our Society in particular, through the death of its distinguished honorary member, the late Sir William H. St. John Hope, M.A., Litt.D., LL.D. The total membership, which on 31st December, 1918, was 380; on 31st December, 1919, stood as follows: The Council recommends the re-election of the Vice-Presidents, with the addition of the Right. Hon. Lord Rayleigh; and of the Council, with the addition of Mr. F. S. Tabor. During the year Part II. of Vol. XV. of the Transactions was published. Excursions were held as follows: 5th June-Margaret Roding Church, Aythorpe Roding Church, New Hall, Cammas Hall, Colville Hall, and Rookwood Hall. 11th September, by invitation of the East Herts Archæological Society-Nether Hall and Roydon Church. 25th September-Great Canfield, Hatfield Broad Oak, and Stanstead Mountfitchet. Evening meetings were held: 29th October, at Prittlewell and Southend. 3rd December, at Colchester. It is recommended that in 1920 Excursions and Meetings be held as follows:- May: The Wendens and Audley End. July: Sible Hedingham and Finchingfield. The Vice-Treasurer reports : Again the receipts of the year show a satisfactory increase, the amount (excluding excursion receipts) being 278 8s. 9d., an increase of £41 175. 8d. over 1918. Annual subscriptions received amount to £184 16s. od., as against £165 18s. od. last year. Life Compositions amount to £52 10s. od. Arrears of subscriptions received were £10 10s. od. The outstanding amount due by members of the Society is £6 16s. 6d., being distributed among eleven members. On the expenditure side there has been a considerable decrease. This is accounted for chiefly by issuing only one part of the Transactions during the year, reducing the cost of printing from £150 3s. 6d. to £69 1s. od. The total expenditure for the year (including excursion expenses) amounts to £188 3s. 4d. On the actual receipts and expenditure for the twelve months, excluding the Life Compositions of £52 10s. od., there is a surplus of £70 12s. 4d. as against a deficiency in 1918 of £19 13s. 10d. Our thanks are again due to Mr. John Avery, F.C.A., for kindly auditing the accounts of the past year. DONATIONS TO THE SOCIETY To March 31st, 1920. Mr. H. W. Lewer, F.S.A.
