vegetables of most importance in the Commonwealth. He also is 

 obliged to leave his report incomplete, and asks for further time. 



The commissioner on the survey of the lower animals, has not 

 been able to offer a full report. Those who are acquainted with 

 science, in this vicinity, will bear testimony to the untiring zeal with

 two years, give, evidence of success. 



All which is respectfully reported by 



Your Excellency's obedient servant, 



GEORGE B. EMERSON. 



Boston, April 19, 1838.
