32 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 Council would further point out how large a field there is for the activity of members in recording local folklore.
