8 E. L. RICE Vol. XXII, No. 1 



A grant of $150 was made on January 10, 1921, to W. J.. Koster, to 

 aid in a survey of the Orthopteran fauna of Ohio. 



Correspondence is in progress which may lead to a renewal of the 

 grant made to Paul B. Sears on June 1, 1819, and a further allotment 

 to W. H. Bucher, for the continuation of work originally undertaken by 

 them. 



Below is a tabulated statement of receipts and expenditures during 

 the period covered by this report. In this, it will be noted, is included 

 a one hundred dollar Liberty Bond received from the Treasurer of the 

 Academy to be added to the Research Fund and which is held as a 

 more or less permanent investment along with that purchased in 1918. 

 The accrued interest on both of these bonds is added to the active 

 assets of the funds. 



At present the amount available for allotment is $569.96, from which 

 it will appear that the demand for the somewhat restricted financial aid 

 to research which this fund furnishes has not been very great during 

 the past year. 



Vouchers for all expenditures are submitted herewith, together 

 with the Cashier's certificate of the balance in the bank on March 1, 1921.
