REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 611 



4 have not been wholly unpacked. It is found more convenient to make 

 the tables cover the whole distribution from the Secretary's office during 

 the three years. A comparison of last year's report with this will give 

 the details for the past year. 



Subscribing Institations. — At different times circulars descriptive of the 

 Bulletin and offering it at the five-dollar rate have been sent to most of 

 the libraries in America and Europe. A few orders have been received 

 from foreion book dealers. Some of these orders mav be for individuals, 

 as the price to persons living outside of this continent was lately reduced 

 to five dollars. The known subscribers are all in the United States. 

 Upon the books of the Secretary there are 44 permanent subscribers, 26 

 receiving the volumes complete and 18 the brochures. The books also 

 bear the names of 14 institutions or dealers which have made special 

 or limited subscriptions, usually for single volumes, in advance. The 

 orders which have been received for volumes previously published are 

 not here included. 



Bulletin Sales. — The Secretary's books show the details of the sales of 

 the Bulletin. The receipts are deposited with the Security Trust Com- 

 pany, subject to the check of the Treasurer, and draw 4 per cent interest. 

 The financial result is given in the following table :
