The "Annals," published for over half a century by the late Lyceum of 

 Natural History, are continued under the above name by the New Yoke 

 Academy of Sciences, beginning with the current year, 1877. 



The present numbers, which have been delayed in passing through the 

 press, will be soon followed by the other two numbers for 1877. 



It is proposed, as before, to issue four numbers every year, each number 

 to consist of not less than thirty-two pages (octavo), with or without 

 plates. Price of Yearly Subscription, Two Dollars, payable in advance. 



The Academy has for sale a number of back volumes of the Annals of 

 the Lyceum, each containing twelve or more numbers; the price per 

 volume is $4.00 with uncolored plates, or $5.00 with colored plates. 



The Academy has established a Publication Fund, contributors to which, 

 in the sum of $100 at one time, are entitled to all the scientific publications 

 of the Academy appearing subsequently to the payment of their con- 

 tribution.
