PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



[1888. 



of examining tlie series of our publications on their shelves. The 

 deficiencies which we could probably supply were indicated, as well- 

 as those not at our disposition. 



All expressed themselves satisfied with the sending of our publica- 

 tions by mail and promised to do the same when the size of their 

 volume permitted. 



During the year there have been elected four Correspondents of 

 the Academy all of whom have been promptly notified. 



The duty of acknowledging donations to the museum which by the 

 by-laws, devolves on the Corresponding Secretary, has been assum- 

 ed by the Curator-in-charge. The Corresponding Secretaiy 

 would again suggest such modification of the laws as will render 

 this legal. The reasons for the change are too obvious to need ex- 

 planation. 



Resj^ectfully submitted, 



George H. Horn, M. D., 



Corresponding Secretary.
