year we had 182 of whom 20 were life members and who included several eminent scholars from overseas. But as Sir Robert Black said in his address last month, "there must be many times 200 people in Hong Kong who are interested both in the cultural life and history of this part of the world which has great riches to offer to anybody interested in research or in studying and enquiring about the inheritance which we all enjoy who live here." While we can feel pride in having in our present membership a substantial nucleus not only of scholars but of members generally representative of the cosmopolitan community of the Colony who are keen and enthusiastic, we need more members and hope to appeal to a wider public. As this is a Royal Society, membership is not a matter of form only, and we do not go out into the highways and byways to recruit members, but we feel that the Society can enlarge its activities and membership if the present members will help by bringing within the fold those of their friends and acquaintances who are interested in its activities. There seems to be no reason why in time the membership should not equal that of the Shanghai Branch, which before the war was about 800.

During the year the Society has held eight meetings at which addresses have been given, all of them by persons of outstanding eminence in their respective spheres. Most of them were very well attended. Good lecturers are a gift from heaven but so far we have been truly blessed.

We were particularly fortunate in starting the year with two outstanding meetings. For an opening meeting we had an intensely interesting talk by Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark on "The Social and Economic Organisation of Tibet", illustrated by a coloured film taken over a period of seven years during his exploration of Central Asia. The formal inaugural address was given by Professor F. S. Drake of the University of Hong Kong on "The Study of Asia: a Heritage and a Task." It was a memorable address which gave the stamp of learning and authority on the Society's efforts and the text of which is printed in this volume.

Of no less interest and merit were the addresses following:

by the

Professor John K. Fairbank on "Chinese Studies in the United States",

Mr. A. C. Scott on "The Chinese Theatre" illustrated by Chinese actors in costumes and makeup,

Mr. G. B. Downer of the University of London on "The Yao People of Laos."

In the summer months we followed the advice of the first President of the original Hong Kong Branch, Sir John Davis,
