part of the Sierras. A few reports of isolated mines indicate 
that the surface of the country is generally limestone pierced by 
igneous dikes. 
A careful gelogical study of this district, so long known and 
yet still so unknown, might yield much valuable information.

The following report of the Audubon Monument Committee 
was received, accepted, and the committee continued. 
The committee appointed October 3d, 1887, to solicit and re- 
ceive subscriptions for a monument to be erected over the grave 
of John James Audubon in Trinity Cemetery, presented a report 
to the Academy at the Regular Business Meeting of November 
5th, 1893, announcing the successful completion of the enter- 
prise. This report, including a financial statement, has been 
printed in the current volume of the Transactions (Vol. XIII., 
pp. 23-69). As therein stated, certain imperfections which have 
been discovered in the die of the monument subsequent to its erec- 
tion, have made necessary the replacement of this stone by a new 
one. This replacement is now in progress, and to insure its 
proper completion the committtee respectfully asks to be con- 
tinued. ; 
N. L. Britton, 
Secretary of the Committee.
