Through the courtesy of the authorities of the American 

 Museum in permitting the use of the Great Hall of the Museum, 

 it has been possible to develop the work of several sections by 

 having public lectures delivered on topics of general scientific 

 interest. Particular mention may be made of the lectures pre- 

 sented by Professor Calkins on the Organism of Small -pox, by 

 Dr. Hovey on his observations of Mont Pele and by Professor 

 Parker on his Explorations in the Canadian Rockies. Mention 

 may also be made of Dr. Hollister's account of the Hydro-

 Dean's report on zoological work in Japan, and of Dr. Kunz's 

 demonstration of radium and its effects on various minei^als.

 special attention, namely that in the Section of Anthropology 

 and Psychology. This section has met in conjunction with the 

 New York Branch of the American Psychological Association, 

 at times outside the City of New York, and at these meetings a 

 more extended series of varied papers has been presented than 

 would be possible at ordinary sectional meetings. 



The membership of the Academy has somewhat decreased 

 during the past year. At present there are two hundred and

 pending. Eight Members have resigned, and eight new Mem-

 the last Annual Meeting. The Academy notes with sorrow the 

 death of several men, devoted to scientific research and to the 

 furtherance of true scientific progress, whose names stood for 

 true ideals of service in behalf of mankind. The Academy and 

 the community at large suffers from the loss of H. Carrington 

 Bolton, one of its past Presidents, of Andrew H. Green, Will-
