10 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Pnoc. 4th Ser. 



In conclusion, on behalf of the officers of the Academy, I 

 desire to express their gratification in the interest manifested 

 by so many of the members and in the cordial effort put 

 forth to advance the best interests of the Academy, which con- 

 tinues, as in the past, to devote itself to the education of our 

 people along lines of natural history, science and related 

 matters. 



I desire to extend to the officers of the Academy thanks 

 for their able and cordial cooperation in Academy affairs 

 and for the many personal sacrifices which they have been 

 called on to make on behalf of the Academy.
