PROSPECTUS OF VOLUME II 



The Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences is now 

 publishing the second volume of its u Proceedings." It is 

 proposed to issue the work in parts, at such intervals as may 

 be convenient. The entire volume will contain not less than 

 300 pages, handsomely printed, and will be fully illustrated. 



In the Department of Archaeology there have been many 

 valuable additions since the publication of the first volume, 

 and new discoveries are constantly being made in the ancient 

 mounds surrounding the city of Davenport, Although 

 Archaeology occupies a very prominent place in the Proceed- 

 ings, there will be some valuable contributions in the Depart- 

 ments of Geology, Botany, Conch ology and Entomology. 

 It is expected to issue the first part, containing the proceed- 

 ings of the Academy from January, 1876, to March, 1877 

 (inclusive), early in May, 1877. This part will be elegantly 

 illustrated with plates, representing the remarkably inscribed 

 tablets recently found in a mound near Davenport. 



The subscription for the volume is $3.00 in advance, or 30 

 cents for each 24 pages, and 5 cents for each plate, if paid for 

 on delivery. All remittances should be addressed to 

 J. DUNCAN PUTNAM,

 and 38 full page plates, may still be had at $3.00 per volume. 

 Photographs of some of the more remarkable objects in the 

 Archaeological collection of the Academy are for sale.
