 *Since the date of the meeting, when the above report was pre- 

 sented, the Academy has received renewed expression of the interest of 

 Mr. Emerson McMillin, in the form of a check for $2'5O.0O placed to the 

 credit of the Research Fund. 



The report of the special committee on the Natural History 

 Survey was made by Professor Osborn. It had been found im- 

 practicable to make any progress by reason of the adverse views 

 of members of the legislature. It is to be hoped that the general 

 condemnation of the methods employed by many members of the 

 last legislature in holding up various bills and advancing other 

 bills, w'ill result in the election of a body more favorable toward 

 advancing the scientific welfare of Ohio along lines found ad- 

 vantageous in other states.
