point whence all these migrations proceeded, and showed 

 that all seemed to point to Puget's sound as the most 

 probable. 



Mr. Morgan then followed out the migrations of several 

 tribes : the Dacotah, Algonquin, Shoshonee, &c. 



At the close of the paper, some discussion followed upon 

 the points brought forward in the paper, after which the 

 following resolution was offered and unanimously adopted : 



Resolved, That for the elaborate and interesting paper to 

 which we have listened, evincing such patient and exten- 

 sive research and so rich in results in regard to our know- 

 ledge of the early inhabitants of this country, the thanks 

 of the Institute be presented to Mr. Morgan, and that a 

 copy of it be requested for publication in the Transactions. 



Without further action, the Institute adjourned.

Dr. Amos Dean, on motion, presided. 



The committee, consisting of Mr. Brown and Mr. Mun- 

 sell, appointed to examine the treasurer's accounts, report- 

 ed that they had examined the accounts and the vouchers 

 and found the same correct: $172.74 in treasury. 



Dr. Townsend exhibited to the Institute two reprints or 

 fac-similes of old editions of Shakspeare. 



1. A reprint of the Comedies of Shakspeare, from the 

 folio edition of 1623. 



2. A reprint of two editions of Hamlet, 1603 and 4, 

 printed on opposite pages and showing the emendations and 

 enlargements made by Shakspeare. 



Mr. Munsell introduced to the notice of the Institute, 

 some attempts towards obtaining a correct representation 

 of the old Dutch church, especially the interior. He 

 showed a ground plan furnished him by the late Samuel 

 Pruyn, a short time before his death, and also a perspective 

 view of the interior, constructed from this ground plan 

 and such descriptions of it as he had been able to obtain 

 from old inhabitants.
