Editor's Report. 



To the Council of the Geological Society oj America : 



The publication of volume 9 has been attended with considerable 

 delay and some annoyance to publishing members by reason of the ab- 

 sence of the Editor in Alaska from early March to the middle of October.

 not completed until December 1 (1898), instead of April 30, the usual 

 close of the publication year. The delay would have been greater, but

 burdens that of carrying, forward the editorial work, and pages 257 to 

 452 were printed under his direction. 



Although, as just noted, the brochure containing the Proceedings of 

 the Tenth Annual Meeting was not issued as a whole until December 1,
