Total expenditures $27, 961 07 



It will be seen that the whole income during the year 1862 was $35,425 51, 

 instead of the estimated income, $34,6G6 14. This difference is due to the 

 receipt of $759 37 as premium on the gold in which the first half year's interest 

 on the Indiana bonds was piid. 



The expenditures during 1862 were $27,961 07, leaving $7,464 44 to be 

 added to the balance in the hands of the treasurer on the 9th of January, 1S62. 



The amount of bills for work already contracted for will not exceed $2,500. 



The foregoing statement is an actual exhibit of the Smithsonian funds, irre- 

 spective of credits and payments which have been made in behalf of other 

 parties. For example, the Institution during the past year has paid several 

 bills for work done on account of the government, the amount of which has 

 been refunded and credited to the appropriations from which the expenditure 

 was originally made.
