The results of the season's exploration are believed to be 

 valuable and important, and will be published the coming year 

 in the National Geographic Magazine. 



Puhlications. — During the year volume ii of the National 

 Geographic Magazine was completed by the publication of 

 number 5, consisting chiefl}^ of administrative matter, together 

 with title pages, indexes, etc., of both volumes i and ii. 



The form of publication was changed early in the present 

 year. The new rules adopted February 6 are printed on pages 

 311-314 of volume ii of the magazine. The general effect of 

 the change instituted by these rules is to substitute for a publi- 

 cation at stated intervals, a publication of single papers or mem- 

 oirs at irregular intervals, as offered and accepted for publica- 

 tion. Under this new mode of publication 204 pages of volume 

 iii of the National Geographic Magazine have been published 

 and distributed. The principal part of volume iii so far pub- 

 lished consists of Mr Russell's report on the exploration of the 

 mount Saint Elias region in 1890.
