REPORT OF AUDITING COMMITTEE. 
December 27, 1889. 
To the National Geographic Society: 
The undersigned, having been appointed an auditing commit- 
tee to examine the account of the Treasurer for 1889, make the 
following report : 
We have examined the Treasurer’s books and find that the re- 
ceipts as therein stated are correctly reported. We have com- 
pared the disbursements with the vouchers for the same and find 
them to have been properly approved and correctly recorded 
We have examined the bank account and compared the checks 
accompanying the same. We find the balance (beside the sum 
of $756.25 invested in real estate note) as reported by the Treas- 
urer ($63.82) consistent with the balance as shown by the bank- 
book ($82.82), the difference being explained by the fact that 
there are two outstanding checks for the sum of $19.00 not yet 
presented for payment.
