12 IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



Our exchange list has been extended by the addition of the "Noitherii' 

 Indiana Historical Society," of South Bend, Indiana; ''Ohio State Archaeo- 

 logical and Historical Society," of Columbus, Ohio; and "Wyoming Histor- 

 ical and Geological Society," of WilkesbHrre, Penn. The exchanges of the 

 academy are now being cared for satisf actoi ily by the state librarian. 



A number of inquiries have been received from members and fellows 

 involving a knowledge of our constitution and by-laws, especially those 

 sections which have been recently amended. I would recommend that a 

 committee be appointed or elected to codify and prepare for printing the 

 constitution and by-laws of the Academy and that the same be printed in 

 the next volume of the proceedings. Respectfully submitted.
