ANNOUNCEMENT. 



TT HAS long been the desire of many of our members to secure 

 -^ the annual publication of our Transactions, but not until this 

 year has it been possible. By assurances that the total expense to 

 the state would not be increased beyond the sum heretofore 

 granted, we were able to secure assent of the printing committee, 

 and now issue volume XX, part I. The volumes will be numbered 

 biennially, as heretofore, and the larger part of the edition will 

 be in paper covers, which facilitates their distribution in for- 

 eign countries, and does not lessen the value for exchanges. If 

 our next meeting be held in Thanksgiving week, and the papers 

 presented are promptly handed in, it will be possible to get them 

 into the printer's hands before the rush of legislative printing oc- 

 curs, to delay their publication. 



We have secured the reprinting of our four lacking volumes — 

 IV, V, VI, and VII, and now can supply missing numbers or com- 

 plete sets to any of our members at very moderate expense. In 

 accordance with the usage of other societies, it is likely that a 

 liberal discount will be made to members from our list prices, al- 

 though these are not high. 



The secretary would like expression from the members as to 

 choice of time and place for next meeting, that these preferences 

 may be laid before the executive committee of the Academy. 



J. T. LOVEWELL, Secretary.
