secretary's report 415 



Bulletin sales. — Receipts for the past year are S426.65. The reduction 

 from last year is due to delay in the publication of volume 9. In former 

 3^ ears the completed volume has been distributed in June or July^ which 

 allowed several months for collection of the bills. As the distribution 

 of complete copies of volume 9 has been onl}'- within the past week' 

 these sales appear under the item " Charged and uncollected." More- 

 over, the irregular sales which follow the publication of each volume 

 have not been realized, but will appear in next year's report.
