to election as Correspondent of the Academy. 
Responding to a circular letter of request seventy-six Correspon-

collection of photographs and biographical sketches which is being 
formed. It is hoped that the representation of living correspon- 
dents will be completed during the ensuing year.

whose addresses could be verified, and were acknowledged appre- 
ciatively by many.
