 two others have been accepted for publication, and the remaining 

 three, those by Mr. Moore, will form a portion of Part 4, Vol. X 

 of the Journal. 



Twenty-three members and three correspondents have been 

 elected. The deaths of fourteen members and of twelve correspon- 

 dents have been announced ; the resignations of four members, 

 Messrs. R. W. Ryerss, B. Alex. Randall, Maylaud Cuthbert and 

 H. N. Rittenhouse, have been accepted, and ten names have been 

 stricken from the roll in consequence of non-payment of dues. It 

 will thus be seen that the elections have not been sufficient to counter- 

 balance the losses and that the number of members on the roll is less 

 than at the close of the year 1894. In another and more impor- 

 tant respect the past year has not been a prosperous one for the 

 Academy, because of the loss of five of its most active members at 

 short intervals. Reference is made to the deaths of J. B. Brinton, 

 M.D., Geo. A. Rex, M.D., John H. Redfield, W. S. W. Rusch- 

 enberger, M.D. and John A. Ryder. The benefits conferred by these 

 in their several ways on the society have been recorded by grateful 

 resolutions and memoirs in the pages of the Proceedings. 



The most important administrative event of the year was the 

 signing, June 18th, of the revised articles of agreement between 

 the Academy and the American Entomological Society, by which it is 

 hoped harmonious cooperation in scientific work has been perma- 

 nently secured. 



The formation of an Anthropological Section was duly authorized 

 April 30th, and the work accomplished during the ensuing months has 

 proven the desirability of such a bond of union among those 

 interested in that department of science. 



Mr. Henry A. Pilsbry was elected to the Professorship in the De- 

 partment of Mollusca; and Prof. Heilprin having resigned the Chair 

 of Invertebrate Paleontology was immediately appointed by the 



Council to that of Geology.
