56 Report of the President 



PUBLICATIONS 



J. A. Allen, Editor 



The current publications of The American Museum of 

 Natural History consist of the Annual Report, the Bulletin, 

 the Memoirs, the Anthropological Papers and the American 

 Museum Journal. 



The Bulletin is a strictly scientific publication in which 

 are published the shorter articles embodying the results of 

 the research work of the various departments of the Museum. 

 The papers composing it are less voluminous and of more 

 general interest than those which appear in the Memoirs. 

 The Bulletin was founded in 1881, and twenty-eight volumes 

 have been issued. 



The Memoirs, like the Bulletin, are strictly scientific, but 

 are devoted to special articles requiring more exhaustive 

 treatment. They have been published at irregular intervals 

 since 1893. Ten complete volumes and parts of four others 

 have been issued. 



The Anthropological Papers are similar in character to the 

 Bulletin, but are devoted exclusively to the results of field 

 work and other research conducted by the anthropological 

 staff of the Museum. The publication of these papers was 

 commenced in 1907, six volumes having been issued up to the 

 present time. 



The American Museum Journal is a popular record of the 

 progress of the Museum, and was first published in 1900. It 

 is now in its eleventh volume. 



Complete sets of the Bulletin and of the Memoirs, bound 



or unbound, may be procured by addressing the Librarian. 



.A standard cloth binding has been adopted for those desiring 



the publications in this form. No complete set of the Journals 



can be furnished. 



The publications of the present year include Volumes 

 XXVII and XXVIII of the Bulletin, Volumes IV, V and VI of 

 the Anthropological Papers, Volume X of the Journal, and 

 Part 1 of Volume XII and Part 1 of Volume XIII of the
