It is not inappropriate in this report to allude to the long 

 services of my predecessor in office, who has so lately passed 

 to his lon<^ reward. The value of the service performed for 

 the vSociety by Mr. vS. E. Wright, during the many years of his 

 term as Treasurer, can hardly be realized by those unfamiliar 

 with the details of his work. The care with which the ac 

 counts were kept scarcely' appears in his reports, complete 

 and systematic as they are. The duties incident to the office 

 are much lessened by the present system of collecting dues 

 and paying bills. To the former duty, during Mr. Wright's 

 term, was added the care of the Endowment Fund. 



Mr. Wright's sy.stem of accounts has simplified greatly the 

 work of the present Treasurer, and he wishes to record his 

 obligation to him ; and also to add his tril)ute to the memory 

 of a firm and true friend of the Cincinnati Society of Natural 

 Hi. story. 



All of which is respectfully submitted, 



DavIvS E. J.\mes,

The undersigned committee, to whom has been referred the
