mics had been delivered by Prof. H. E. Mills, of Vassar 

 College. 



The standing Committees on Museum and Library and 

 on Publication presented their reports, which were read 

 and accepted. 



Chairman Cooley presented the following report of the 

 Trustees which was accepted. 



The Trustees beg leave to report in regard to the con- 

 dition of the property of the Institute: 



That the addition of new materials and the construc- 

 tion of some better facilities for displaying specimens, 

 together with the watchful care of all the older collec- 

 tions, have made the Museum more valuable and more 

 attractive than ever before; that important additions by 

 exchange have been made to the library, and the value 

 and usefulness of the whole as a reference collection is 

 secured by the system of classification which has recently 

 been introduced, and by the satisfactory condition in 

 which the books are kept; that the invested funds are 

 under the most careful guardianship, and that the build- 

 ing and grounds have received all needed attention. 



The Trustees believe that the property of the Institute 

 as a whole is in satisfactory condition.
