The Treasurer feels that the Academy is on a sound financial basis 
as is indicated in the report. He wishes to take this occasion to thank 
the members of the Ohio Academy of Science for their cordial support. 
There have been several cases of delays and misunderstandings in the 
collection of the joint dues for the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science and for the Academy. This is greatly to be regretted 
but from a careful study of the methods of payment, the Treasurer 
believes that the system will be practically automatic in another year. 
In order to avoid all trouble and inconvenience, prompt payments 
should be made in the early autumn when the bills are sent out. This 
insures prompt notification of the subscription managers of Science 
and of the Onto JouRNAL OF SCIENCE and uninterrupted delivery of 
the two journals. Unless the Treasurer has the unanimous co-operation 
of the members in the matter of promptness, he cannot assure them of 
immediate attention. He is at all times glad to have reports of errors or 
delays and willing to do everything he can to adjust matters to the 
satisfaction and convenience of the members. During the year the 
present Treasurer has just served he has done practically all the work 
of billing, dunning, and corresponding unaided. This was done, not so 
much with the desire to save the slight cost of additional help, as in the 
hope that he might come to know all the details of the job and espe- 
cially to straighten out accounts of members in arrears. It is to be 
hoped that members will take care of their arrearage sooner in the 
future, but this matter, in-the case of those members of the Academy 
who are also A. A. A. S. members, will quickly adjust itself. In the 
itemized account of the funds the deposits are somewhat swelled because 
of arrearage. Because there is no adequate adjustment of this for the 
Ohio JouRNAL an increase to the JOURNAL was given this year.
