Publications. — During the year ten publications were issued and 

 also the second part of Prof. Cory's "The Birds of Eastern North 

 America." It is expected that valuable additions will be made to the 

 Museum publications during the ensuing year, four important papers 

 being now in preparation by the Museum staff. The system of dis- 

 tributing the publications remains the same as in the past except in the 

 matter of return acknowledgments. A private mailing card is now 

 inserted in each publication, to be returned as an acknowledgment 

 instead of the paper form used heretofore. This form has demon- 

 strated its usefulness economically, and has given general satisfaction 

 both to the Museum and to the recipient.
