128 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [FEB. 25, 
(IV.) Annals, Vol. III., index. 
(V.) Annals, Vol. IV., Nos. 5 to 9 inclusive; and also 
Nos. 10 and 11 in press and soon to be out. 
(VI.) Also, the reprinting, as ordered in the spring by the 
Academy, of several parts of back numbers of both Annals and 
Transactions, which were out of print and were required to com- 
plete sets for binding and exchange. 
About half of this work, comprising items Nos. I., III., and 
VI., had been done under the direction of the late editor of 
the Transactions, Pror. FAIRCHILD, and the remainder by the 
present editor, the chairman. 
The report was accepted and adopted. 
Owing to the recent changes in the office of Recording Secre- 
tary, no formal report was presented from that department. 
But the Academy’s meetings and lectures had been maintained 
with regularity and interest; and the character of the communi- 
cations and the size of the audiences had been fully equal to 
those of previous years. 
COMMITTEE ON THE AUDUBON MONUMENT. 
Dr. N. L. Britton reported progress in behalf of this Com- 
mittee, referring to the adoption of the proposed design for the 
monument; the removal of Mr. Audubon’s remains by the 
cemetery authorities to the new plot assigned; the preparation by 
them of the ground to receive the monument; the various cir- 
culars issued by the Committee, etc., etc. As yet, the amount 
received was by no means adequate to erect a monument such 
as was designed and desired; and further efforts were needed to 
accomplish the result. 
The report was accepted, and the Committee continued. 
ELECTION OF OFFICERS. 
The recent death of Mr. H. Lowextt ELuiott, whose name 
had been placed on the ticket previously presented by the Coun- 
cil, as one of the Curators, rendered a special election necessary 
to fill that place.
