Several papers for the Bulletin and Memoirs are well under way, 

 including a Monograph of the Sesiidas by Mr. Beutenmiiller, with 

 several colored plates, for Volume I of the Memoirs. Owing to 

 lack of funds for the publication of all the material that has been 

 prepared relating to the work of the Museum, several papers have 

 been published in other scientific journals, by permission of the 

 Museum authorities. 



Early in the coming year the publication of a periodical, to be 

 called "The American Museum Journal," will be commenced. 

 It will contain short articles relating to the past and present work 

 of the Museum, and is intended to keep the members informed 

 respecting the work carried on in the several departments. 



I take pleasure in calling the attention of the members of the 

 Museum to the important results of the various expeditions during 

 the past year. In some instances the work has been supported 

 from the funds of the Museum, but in the main, the cost of field 

 research has been met by private contributions. 



A very encouraging beginning has been made in the investiga- 

 tion of some of the Indian tribes of California and the Indian 

 Territory ; an extended reference to which is made in a preceding
