REPORT OF THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY. 



The Corresponding Secretary presents herewith the report of 

 matters pertaining to his office during the year ending Nov. 30. 



There have been eight Correspondents elected by the Academj', 

 all of whom have been notified. 



The correspondence received during the year has been, for the 

 most part, that transmitting the publications of corresponding 

 societies or other organizations, and from Correspondents acknowl- 

 edging their election. Those letters requiring an answer have re- 

 ceived proper attention. 



The letters written have been in great part acknowledgments 

 of donations to the Museum. These letters, numbering 177, cover 

 a much greater number of donations. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Geo. II. Horn, M.D., 



Corresponding Secretary.
