regular issue for 1882, and with which the second volume would close, 

 which is not yet published and is still due to subscribers for that year. 

 This part, it is hoped soon to issue. 



Besides these, there were also published during the year covered by 

 this report, although belonging to the issue for 1881, Nos. 7 and 8 of 

 Vol. II. 



The Academy is indebted to Dr. Laurence JOHNSON for Plate 

 XVIII., — the original map illustrating his article,— the entire cost of 

 which was borne by himself ; also, to Mr. Thomas Bland, Dr. New- 

 berry, Mr. F. G. Wiechmann, and Prof. Thurston,'^for aid in the cost 

 of illustrating with plates or cuts. 



During the coming year, it will be necessary for the Academy to pro- 

 vide the additional amount needed for publishing the Index to the 

 second volume. 



The issue of the Transactions, which was begun in the fall of 1881, 

 and referred to in the Committee's report, one year ago, has been car- 

 ried on successfully during the year. Eight numbers, — one for each 

 month of the Academy's session, — have been issued ; and the second 

 volume has been begun, for the session of 1882-3; although it is 

 matter for regret that the means have not been provided to secure that 

 promptness of publication so desirable, and so much hoped for, in 

 a journal of this kind. D. S. MARTIN,
