 illustrations so far as possible. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. — Eds.

The sectional meetings have some disadvantages since they have 

 made possible the reading of many more papers within a given time 

 -and now we find ourselves with a very large amount of mainuscript on 

 hand without the means for publishing it promptly and at the 

 same time provide for the usual additional matter appearing in later 

 numbers. Our limited funds make it necessary to carry over a number 

 ■of papers and for the remainder of the year contributions may be 

 expected to appear from one to two issues later than originally esti- 

 mated. We can hardly do more than complete the publication of 

 the proceedings in the June number, and as a consequence some 

 papers will not appear in time to be of the greatest service the 

 coming season. 



The large amount of matter and the relatively scanty means raises 

 a question as to the most profitable expenditure of available funds. 

 It has been the aim to restrict the papers largely to original contribu- 

 tions to knowledge, a policy which must be adhered to more rigidly 

 in the future. The business proceedings of recent years are more 

 voluminous and there is a tendency for them to increase in size with the 

 more complete type of organization towards which we are tending. 

 Many of these activities are highly desirable, some are of questionable 

 utility and in certain instances at least the same end could be accom- 

 plished with less printer's ink. This latter is true of some contributions 

 to knowledge though most of us find it easier to see the verbosity of the 

 other man than to note such a trait in our own writings.
