 other regular subscribers, namely, $4, the Journal would come within 

 $79 of being self-supporting. 



Mr. Ballard continued during the year to give his competent and 

 valuable services in getting out the Journal — services for which he 

 receives a fraction of what they are actually worth to the Society. It 

 is largely due to his promptness and insistence in dealing \vith the 

 printer that the Journal now appears without serious delays.
