PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



[1887. 



some of our earlier volumes are either entirely or partly out of print, 

 but it is hoped the finances of the Academy may permit republica- 

 tion in the near future. 



During the year sixteen Correspondents have been elected and 

 notification promptly sent. Responses have been received from 

 fifteen, in several cases accompanied by gifts to the library or 

 museum. 



The additions to the museum during the year have been of great 

 value as will be learned from the Curators' report. To the Curator- 

 in-charge I must express my thanks for acknowledging in my behalf, 

 the donations as received. 



Among the miscellaneous correspondence we have received noti- 

 fication of the death of eminent students many of whom were 

 numbered among our membership. 



A number of letters of slight interest have been referred to the 

 members of the Bureau of Scientific Information or answered 

 directly. 



Respectfully submitted, 



George H. Horn, M. D., 



Corresponding Secretary.
