and it is necessary that these be kept in some proper place 
where they will be as accessible to the members as is 
possible, we have appointed Mr. W. C. Mills as librarian, 
and to him should be sent all publications belonging to 
the Academy, except its own. We have appointed Pro- 
fessor Herbert Osborn, custodian of all of the duplicate 
publications of the Academy, consisting at present of its 
annual reports and special papers. 
From the McMillin research fund we have made the 
following grants: 
To Professor Raymond Osburn, to enable him to finish his

We have paid out for engraving maps for the special 
paper on preglacial drainage, which is to constitute No. 3 
of the series, $38.21. 
Prof. Bonser has not yet drawn his grant and Prof. 
Hine, owing to.an unexpected call for his services in nursery 
inspection, has not used all of his grant, and desires the 
remainder to be continued another year. 
We have now in our hands $187.39. Deducting from 
this the unpaid grants of Professors Hine and Bonser, and 
$100.00 for publication, we have approximately $37.00 
unappropriated. Of this we shall probably use about $7.00 
for engraving a large map illustrating the entire pre— 
glacial drainage of the State so far as it has been dis- 
covered, leaving us a net balance of $30.00 unappropriated. 
Professor Osborn’s report on the Fishes of Ohio will be 
ready for publication early in 1901, but we hope that the 
Academy funds will be sufficient to publish this, leaving
