ATTENDANCE. 



Large audiences at our meetings are rare. Technical papers 

 and discussions of the highest vahie are often unsuited to popular 

 audiences, and a score of intelligent hearers is often more than 

 one should expect. However, the assembly room is furnished 

 with lantern, screen and blackboards, and occasionally the hall 

 has been well filled. The following figures are of interest: — 



Total attendance 482 



Average attendance 30 



Smallest attendance (March 4, April 15) 12 



Largest attendance (December 2) 135 



Total attendance, 1906 406 



Average attendance, 1906 27 



PUBLICATIONS. 



The Academy was able to print but one scientific paper in 

 1907, viz.: Mr. Otto Widmann's elaborate production, "A Pre- 

 liminary Catalog of the Birds of Missouri." It represents the 

 labor of thirty years, and its publication cost the Academy 

 $639.55. The Council expects to publish several short papers 

 during the year 1908. It fairly goes without saying that the 

 more money we have, the more papers we publish. Our stand- 

 ard edition is 1,100 copies, of which 585 are sent to our exchanges, 

 and 515 are used for members and for sale. For particulars in 

 regard to the use and sale of Proceedings, see the report of the 

 Librarian. 



CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER SCIENTIFIC BODIES. 



The Council has taken up the question of cooperation with 

 local organizations, educational and professional, for the pur- 

 pose of avoiding useless duplications and of concentrating col- 

 lections which supplement each other, but which are widely
