For the coming year we have a number of excellent papers in hand, and appar- 

 ently our only difficulty in the matter of material lies in the lack of funds with

I wish to recommend the appointment of Dr. C. H. Kennedy as assistant 

 managing editor, his name to appear on the front page of cover, in connection 

 with the Editorial Board. Dr. Kennedy has kindly offered to assist in the details 

 of handling the journal and with such assistance -I believe it will be possible to 

 continue the general managem.ent of the i\NX.ALS, if this is desired by the Society. 



Respectfully submitted,

The museum has, during the past year, utilized the services of certain special-

 seem well worth continuation. There certainly should be a more general interest 

 throughout the country in the growth of the national collections, and there should
