PROCEEDINGS. 295 



Ninety-three letters have been received from members, 

 and three hundred and forty-nine from correspondents; 

 also, from the latter, over a thousand receipts in letter 

 form, which receipts have been formerly numbered and 

 classified as letters. 



Bulletins sis, seven and eight have been distributed to 

 members and correspondents; to the latter, through the 

 medium of the Smithsonian Institution. Our exchange list, 

 excluding members — life, resident, honorary, etc. — is now 

 between five and six hundred, and the labor involved is 

 very considerable.
