RECORDS OF MEETINGS. 755 



have been limited to the appropriation of S2600 voted at the annual 

 meeting', May 9, 19()0, and an additional appropriation of SyOO voted 

 January 9, 1907; in all, S3 100. However, several authors bore a 

 portion of the expense of their papers. Sometimes it was convenient 

 to have the author pay a lump sum to the Academy rather than send 

 him a separate bill. The money so received aggregated .$179.23, and 

 was turned over to the Treasurer for credit to the General Publication 

 Fund. Against this total sum of $3279.23 bills aggregating .$3279.22 

 have been approved, thus leaving an unexpended balance of one cent. 



There are now three papers in press for the Proceedings, the esti- 

 mated unpaid expense of which is $282, and unpaid bills amounting 

 to S-27.25. 



Bills for publications on account of the Rumford Fund amounting 

 to $887.01 have been forwarded to the chairman of the Rumford Com- 

 mittee for approval. 



One number of the iMemoirs, estimated to cost for the text $145, 

 and one number of the Proceedings, estimated to cost $86, are in press 

 as Rumford papers.
