C. J. BELL, 



Treasurer. 



December 28, 1888. 

 To the National Geographic Society : 



The undersigned, having been appointed an Auditing Committee to 

 examine the accounts of the Treasurer for 1888, have the honor to 

 make the following report : 



We have compared the receipts with the oflScial list of members and 

 find complete agreement. We have compared the disbursements with 

 the vouchers for the same and find them to have been duly authorized 

 and correctly recorded. We have examined the bank account and 

 compared the checks accompanying the same. We have compared the 

 balance in the hands of the Treasurer as shown by the ledger ($626.70) 

 with the balance as shown by the bank book ($644.70) and found them 

 consistent, the difference being explained by the fact that a check for 

 $18 drawn in favor of the Secretary of the Cosmos Club has not yet 

 been presented for payment. We find the condition of the accounts 

 entirely satisfactory. 



Very respectfully, 



S. H. KAUFMANN. 

 G. K. GILBERT.
