CORRESPONDING SECRETARY'S REPORT. 



To Bev. IV. H. Barris, President of the Board of Trustees : 



The publication of the " Proceedings" during the past year has caused a 

 very considerable increase in the con-espondence of the Academy. A 

 letter or a postal card was written announcing each copy as it was mailed, 

 and requesting a return of exchanges. In the absence of Mrs. McGone- 

 gal, this work was undertaken by the undersigned, and at the meeting of 

 the Academy in November they did me the honor to elect me to the 

 vacancy caused by her resignation. One hundred and eighty-three com- 

 munications Avere written in September, and seventy-one during the 

 months of October, November and December, making a total of two 

 hundred and fifty-four. About thirty of these were by Mr. W. H. Pratt^ 

 and the remainder by myself. During this time two hundred and sev- 

 enty-eight communications of various kinds have been r-eceived, most 

 of them being in acknowledgement of our Proceedings. A large num- 

 ber of publications have been received, of which a detailed account 

 will be found in the report of the Librarian. So far as is known but 

 a small amount of correspondence was carried on previous to Sept. 

 15th, and of this there has been no record. 

 A copy book and letter-press were procured, and copies of all letters
