REPORT OF THE MANAGING EDITOR. 



The Managing Editor is pleased to report a satisfactory year con- 

 sidering the unsettled conditions that have had to be met. The receipts 

 of this office have been $450.30 and the expenditures $170.16, leaving 

 a balance of $280.14, turned over to the Treasiu-er. 



A condensed summary of the items follows : 



RECEIPTS.

$450.30 



DISBURSEMENTS.

Engraving 108.27 



Balance to Treasurer 280. 14 



$450.30 



The volume issued contains 418 pages, only slightly less than for 

 the preceding year and the expense has been kept approximately 

 the same by the use of a lighter weight paper which, however, is of 

 excellent quality. A number of authors have very kindly contributed 

 toward the preparation of plates which has enabled us to use a larger 

 number of illustrations than would otherwise have been possible. 



A number of back volumes have been sold and I am pleased to 

 acknowledge the assistance of various members who have helped 

 in placing such volumes and trust this favor will be continued for the 

 coming year. 



We have a nimiber of available papers on hand, in faci the supply 

 has surpassed the available space, but it seems to me that we should 

 for the coming year keep safely within the estimated income of the 

 Society for publication, selecting with care those papers which are most 

 desirable for immediate publication and trusting that authors will 

 appreciate the necessity for delay in some instances. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



Herbert Osborn, 



Managing Editor.
