Rh members of such societies to certain privileges upon payment to the Society of an annual contribution of 2s. 6d. The Anthropological Society connected with the University of Oxford has, with the approval of the Council, been affiliated pursuant to these rules. The Council hope that, when the new Rules become better known, the advantages offered by them to University students will lead to the accession of a number of associate members.

The sum received as members' subscriptions in 1911 was £454 15s. 6d., which included two life subscriptions amounting to £21. In 1910 the receipts from this source of income amounted to £443 12s. 0d. The Council regret that the arrears of subscriptions still amount to £42.

Although the quality and scientific value of the articles published in Folk-Lore have been maintained in every way, the cost of printing and publishing volume XXII. only amounts to £194, compared with£219 9s. 3d., which was the cost of Vol. XXI.

The sum received in 1911 as interest on investments and as sales of stock amounted to £66 14s. 1d., as compared with £76 2s. 8d. in 1910. The Council must point out that this is due to the fact that many of the earlier publications of the Society have been completely sold out, with the exception of such volumes as were salved from the fire. The Council are disappointed at the comparatively small demand there has been for the salvage stock. The offer made to members was an exceedingly generous one: and it is hoped that in the future a larger advantage will be taken of it than has been the case in the past. Applications for copies should be addressed to Mr. C. J. Tabor, The White House, Knott's Green, Leyton, Essex. The stock has been rebound, and the price per volume, "with all faults," is 4s., payable in advance, carriage free.

The Accounts and Balance Sheet for the year 1911 are submitted herewith.
