p. 75. NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. Cyrus B. Comstock fund of $10,000 in 4% 

 railroad bonds, presented to the Academy Nov. 27, 1907. Out of the 

 income of this fund a prize in money, to be called the Comstock prize, is 

 to be awarded once for every 5 years to the bona fide resident of North 

 America who, not less than one year nor more than six years before the 

 award, shall have made, in the judgment of the trustee, the most important 

 discovery or investigation in electricity or magnetism or radiant energy. 

 The amount of the prize is to be two-thirds of the balance of income for 

 5 years, after provision for maintaining the market value of the fund has 

 been made, if necessary. If not awarded, this sum is to be added to the 

 principal or it may be used, not oftener than once in 15 years, in whole or 

 part, to aid investigations in the same field to be made by a bona fide resi- 

 dent or residents of North America. (Ann. rep. 1907, p. 13-14.)
