Moines, December 29 and 30, 1898. In business sessions the

REPORT OP THE SECRETARY-TREASURER. 
Members of the -Academy — The past year has been one of substantial 
progress for the Academy. We have added five fellows and seven associate 
members. Our proceedings were duly printed and form a volume of 230 
pages. 
It is my sad duty to chronicle the death of one of our most honored mem- 
bers, Dr. Chas. Wachsmuth, of Burlington, who died very soon after our 
last meeting. I would suggest that a committee be appointed to draft 
suitable resolutions to be published in our forthcoming volume of proceed- 
ings and to include, if possible, a sketch of his life. 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT. 
Accounts and vouchers submitted herewith show receipts of $151.69 and 
expenditures of $79.72, leaving a balance charged to the treasurer of $71.97.
