The President and Vice President by their prompt and efficient 

 aid continue to inspire a hearty devotion to the service in all associated 

 with this Department. GEORGE HALL CONKLIN. 



REPORT OF THE TREASURER 



In submitting the following, attention is called to the item "Loan 

 on Contingency Fund/' which appears on both sides of the account 

 having been paid into the treasury early in the year ; later, when it was 

 seen that the amount taken in would suffice, it was returned. We have 

 to thank Dr. Conklin, who contributed the expenses in connection 

 with the Minneapolis Meeting. The disbursements, however, include 

 an unusual amount, as it was necessary to move the back numbers, 

 etc., and the Moss Hebarium, and allow for its rearrangement on mod- 

 ern lines. As we start this year with a smaller balance on hand, it is 

 urged that an especial effort be made to increase membership in the 

 Society and also general subscriptions.
