1902.] NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 797 
the Transactions of the American Entomological Society (the Ento- 
mological Section of the Academy), 367 pages and 9 plates, and 
of the Entomological Neius, 334 pages and 15 plates, making a 
total, of 2271 pages and 110 plates issued by the Academy during 
the year. 
We are indebted to Mr. Clarence B. Moore for the publication of 
the second part of the twelfth volume of the quarto Journal, the 
entire expense of printing and illustration having been defrayed 
by him. 
The statistics of distribution remain the same as last year. 
It is much to be regretted that the biographical memoir of our 
esteemed Vice-President, Thomas Meehan, the preparation of 
which had been provided for by the Academy as stated in the last 
annual report, has not yet been presented for publication. 
Twenty members and one correspondent have been elected. The 
deaths of eighteen members and five correspondents have been 
announced. Seven members have been omitted from the roll 
because of non-payment of dues, and the following have resigned : 
Henry Leffman, Harry G. Parker, John H. Packard, Charles L. 
Phillips, Henry Erben, Miss E. W. Lowber, Theodore P. Matthews 
and Hampton L. Carson. 
The Hayden Memorial Medal has been voted to Sir Archibald 
Geikie, D.Sc., LL.D., late JDirector-General of the Geological 
Survey of Great Britain and Ireland, and has been transmitted to 
him through H. B.M Consul in Philadelphia. This is the first 
time that the gold medal has been awarded, it having heretofore 
been struck annually in bronze and accompanied by a grant of the 
balance of interest arising from the fund. The modification has 
been made in the deed of gift by the founder of the award, Mrs. 
Ferdinand V. Hayden. 
The cornerstone of the building formerly occupied by the Acad- 
emy at the corner of Broad and Sansom streets, exposed during the 
demolition of the edifice, was received with its contents from the 
contractor, Mr. John Griffith, Jr., who received the thanks of the 
society. The contents of the interesting relic were found to cor- 
respond with the list recorded in the minutes of the meeting of 
May 25, 1839. 
A resolution was adopted in January urging on the National 
Congress the propriety of erecting in Washington a memorial to 
the late Prof. Spencer F. Baird.
