14 ILLINOIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 
edition would cost $902.10. The printer, however, is willing to 
cut the edition to 1,000 copies and this will cost $605.70. These 
costs are exclusive of the cuts for the two volumes, which 
amounted to $207.25 which has already been paid out of the 
Academy Treasury. The printing bills in connection with the 
present program, and for envelopes for mailing out proof, and 
copies of Volume IX and X, amount to $88.60. The Secretary 
has a bill for postage on proofs, on copies of Volume IX, and 
for general correspondence amounting to $30.17. This makes 
a total of outstanding bills to date, of $1385.12, assuming that 
Volume X is to be published in a 1,000 copy edition and that 
the offer of free reprints be recalled. It will cost about $25.00 
to mail out copies of Volume X to the members. This will 
make a total of $1,410.12, which would be needed at the present 
' time to clear us of debt, aside from some small expenses con- 
nected with the present meeting. 
I had been promised that Volume X w rant be ready for dis- 
tribution at this meeting, but heatless Mondays and a few other 
causes of delay made that impossible, but I am now promised 
that within a week or ten days I shall be able to send it to the 
members.
