A matter of general interest to the Society, was the meeting 
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 
the summer of 1880, the members of which, as our guests, 
were invited tc make free use of our Museum, Library and rooms. 
The Lecture Room was several times used by them, and the Labo- 
ratory printed and gratuitously distributed a special edition of 
the Introduction to the General Guide to the Museum. Though this 
meeting of the Association was the largest ever held, the accom- 
modations were ample, and the entertainment generally so excel- 
lent, that the members of the Association expressed great 
satisfaction. 
The Society can this year be justly proud of the thick volume 
Memoirs which announced its fiftieth birth-day to the world of 
Science. This, however, requires no further notice here, since the 
Secretary’s Report contains a full account of it
