The above account was duly certified in the usual terms by Dr. 
Emmons. Of the six figures on plates 26 and 38 two were merely 
outlines, showing the shape of the fruit ; and again of the six figures 
on plates 80 and 81 two were sections of fruit, showing in outline 
the disposition of the seed vessels, &c. They must have been ex- 
ecuted at a comparatively trifling expense ; but again, there had been 
many large figures of fruit engraved, which probably, in labor (as 
stated by Mr. Pease,) had exceeded the sum allowed, and it seemed 
but equitable that in a contract of this description slight and elaborate 
drawings (if the former were not too numerous) should be included 
in an average price. His strongest argument to us in favor of al- 
lowing the account was, that these were the last engravings of fruit 
to be paid for and that nothing remained to be executed for the 3d 
volume of Dr. Emmons but the insects. 
It was agreed that there was no contract as to wood engravings, 
although Mr. Pease stated that there had been a verbal direction to 
him by Governor Young to execute any work that might be required 
in that department. As Mr. Pease had further charges for wood en- 
gravings it was agreed to withdraw this item for the present. The 
engravings of insects were certified to by Dr. Emmons as having been 
by his order, and that they were either in his possession or in Mr. 
Pease's hands for engraving. Mr. Pease made the usual affidavit 
and his account was certified to the Comptroller at $393.50.
