Four of these, by Clarence B. Moore, constitute the second' part of 
the thirteenth volume of the Journal, for which, with its copious 
illustrations, we are indebted to the author. Of the others, 29 have 
been published in the current volume of the Proceedings, of which two 
numbers have been issued, and four are in course of publication; 
three were withdrawn, two were transferred to the Entomological 
Section, one was returned to the author and two remain to be acted on. 
Eight hundred and forty-eight pages of the Proceedings, illustrated 
by 56 plates; 212 pages of the Journal, with 244 half-tone text figures 
and 6 maps; 344 pages and 11 plates of the Entomological News, 296 
pages and 7 plates of the Transactions of the American Entomological 
Society (Entomological Section of the Academy) and 138 pages arid 51 
plates of the Manual of Conchology have been published. 
In January postal card notices were sent to the members of the 
Academy requesting those who desired to receive the Proceedings to 
signify such desire on a return card. The result was such a decrease 
in the mailing list that the published edition was reduced to 1,200. 
The statistics of distribution are now as follows :
