14 ILLINOIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 



If publication by the state can be brought about, the Academy 

 will be able to pay the expenses incurred by future secretaries and 

 treasurers, at least in attendance upon meetings, and to pay as well 

 for the large amount of clerical work incident to the office of 

 the secretary. 



Your secretary is convinced that by this time he has contributed 

 his full proportion of time and money to the Academy and trusts 

 that his successor elected at the meeting may be less burdened, 

 both to his own advantage and to that of the society. 



Respectfully submitted, 



February 17, 1911. A. R. Crook, Secretary.
