KANSAS CITY REVIEW OF SCIENCE. 



At the conclusion of the address a vote of thanks was tendered Professor 

 Cope, and he was requested to notify the Academy the next time he thought of 

 passing through the city, in order that he might be invited to lecture again. 



A considerable number of books and specimens in various departments of 

 natural history have been added to the Library and Museum during the year, and 

 if our citizens could find time to take proper interest the Academy would soon 

 be an object of pride to all intelligent people.
