for publication in the Transactions of the State' Medical 

 Society, complete tables of surgeons of the state of New 

 York now in service, or who had been, together with the 

 register of their localities and times of entering and leaving 

 service. 



At the close of these papers, the Institute adjourned. 



May 19, 1862. 



The president, J. Y. L. Pruyn, presided. 



Under donations, the Proceedings of the Essex Institute, 

 and Prof. Hall's Report on the Geological Survey of the 

 State of Wisconsin, were announced as having been re- 

 ceived. 



Mr. Munsell then proceeded to give an account of the 

 old Dutch Church in Albany. It was built in 1715, of stone, 

 and was built around the wooden one which it was in- 

 tended to replace. Services continued to be held in the 

 inside one till within three weeks of the time the out- 

 side one was entirely complete. 



Mr. Munsell exhibited to the Institute an attempt at a 

 restoration of the interior, as nearly as it could be gleaned 

 from old people who can remember it. He also exhibited 

 original records of the church, of 1667, translating them 

 from the original Holland Dutch. 



Mr. Munsell also showed a window taken from the old 

 church by Garret Gates, who claimed it at the time the 

 church was demolished, in the name of his mother, as the 

 descendant of Andries Herbertsen, whose name it bore, 

 under the date of 1657. Mr. M. had rescued it from obli- 

 vion in a fragmentary condition, and had succeeded in re- 

 storing the exact figures of eleven of the twelve panes of 

 which it originally consisted, in stained glass. 



After Mr. Munsell's annunciation, some discussion fol- 

 lowed in regard to the expediency of assuming the publi- 

 cation of a new series of the Annals of Albany, to be pre- 

 pared by Mr. Munsell. The subject was finally referred to 

 a committee with power, consisting of Mr. Pruyn, Mr. 

 Murray and Mr. Redfield.
