from all sources to £508 12s. 3d. The revenue from sales during the nine months ending 30th June was £56 11s. 6d. as against £102 12s. 10d. for the eighteen months ending 30th September, 1920, and for the six months ending 31st December it was £38 2s. 2d., so that the recovery of revenue from this source, if slow, is steadily progressing. The Handbook of Folk-Lore is selling very well. Folk-Lore cost £263 8s 6d. as against £316 8s. 2d. in 1920, the principal diminution in cost being shown in the December number.

The Council would be glad if more objects of folk-lore interest could be exhibited at the meetings. They have once more to thank Mr. G. R. Carline who almost invariably produces one or more exhibits. But there must be many other members of the Society who could add to the interest of the meetings by bringing with them objects of interest for exhibition.
Several additions have been made to the Society's library at University College during the year, particulars of which
