RECORDS 93 



The total number on the maihng- list of the Academy is 720, 

 of which 292 are members, 410 exchanges and 8 subscribers. 



The great need of the library at present is, as for some years 

 past, an appropriation for binding, serious but unavoidable injury 

 and loss constantly resulting from the insufficient protection 

 afforded by the present arrangements. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



Livingston Farrand, 



Librarian. 



REPORT OF THE EDITOR. 



During the last year, owing to lack of funds, no scientific 

 papers were published by the Academy. In March, the 

 Academy issued Part 2, Volume 14 of the Annals, containing 

 the Record of the Meetings of the New York Academy of 

 Sciences, January, 1901, to December, 1901, by Richard E. 

 Dodge, Recording Secretary. This was issued as a separate 

 (No. 5, Volume 14, pages 85 to 163) and was mailed to every 

 member of the Academy. 



There is now a good balance in the hands of the Treasurer, 

 to the credit of the publication fund, and publication of scientific 

 papers may be resumed. 



Charles Lane Poor, 



Editor.
