Although 22 new members were elected during the year, our membership now totals only 334, as against 328 in March, 1921. Chis small increase in the total membership is mainly due to its having been ascertained that several members who had left China some few years ago wished their names to be transferred from our registers on to the London books.
During the year, Messrs. C. J. Scott and A. M. Cannan resigned from the committee on leaving for England and Messrs. R. W. Robertson and P. W. Massey were invited and consented to serve in their places.
The accounts call for little comment. At the beginning of the year we had a credit balance of Tis, 221.92, and this had, at the time we closed) our accounts, increased to Ts. 443.38, which we have carried forward. Once more I have pleasure in recording the committee's sincere thanks to Mr. L. D. Lemaire, who has again so kindly undertaken the audit of the accounts.
You will have received with your copies of the annual report a notice concerning the payment of the annual subscription, and I am asked by the Hon. Treasurer to mention that it would be of great assistance if those members who have not already done so would kindly forward their remittances to him as early' as possible.
