Publications. — During  the  year  ten  publications  were  issued  and 
also  the  second  part  of  Prof.  Cory's  "The  Birds  of  Eastern  North 
America."  It  is  expected  that  valuable  additions  will  be  made  to  the 
Museum  publications  during  the  ensuing  year,  four  important  papers 
being  now  in  preparation  by  the  Museum  staff.  The  system  of  dis- 
tributing the  publications  remains  the  same  as  in  the  past  except  in  the 
matter  of  return  acknowledgments.  A  private  mailing  card  is  now 
inserted  in  each  publication,  to  be  returned  as  an  acknowledgment 
instead  of  the  paper  form  used  heretofore.  This  form  has  demon- 
strated its  usefulness  economically,  and  has  given  general  satisfaction 
both  to  the  Museum  and  to  the  recipient.
