numbers of the Academ}- publications are about exhausted and 

 advise tliose having an interest in science to avail themselves of tlie 

 opportunit}' to secure a complete set of the publications for their 

 library. 



Our exchange list has also increased during the ^^ear and we 

 now have the publication of twenty-six scientific societies and col- 

 leges available for reference by membens of the Academy. 



I urge upon the members the necessity of a correct mailing 

 list and should they change their address to notify, at once, the 

 Treasurer or Librarian. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Wm. C. Mills, Librarian. 



REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 

 The appropriations made during 1905 were somewhat less 

 than usual, it l^eing deemed wise to reserve the balance for pub- 

 lication. 



The Board of Trustees feel that excellent work' has be^n done 

 by the Academy, and realizes that not a little of this has been ac- 

 complished by the aid of the "McMillin research fund". If the 

 work so well begun is continued it will not be long until the 

 "N'atural History of Ohio" is quite as complete and more up to 

 date than that of any other.
