The following annual reports were read and referred to the Pub¬ 
lication Committee:— 
REPORT OF RECORDING SECRETARY. 
In view of the full reports of the Treasurer, the Curators, the 
Librarian and the various sections of the Academy, the Recording 
Secretary has, as heretofore, but little to report apart from the 
statistics of the meetings of the society and the operations of the 
Publication Committee. 
One hundred and sixty-eight pages of the Proceedings for 1887 
and two hundred and seventy-two pages of the current volume have 
been issued and distributed. Provision has been made for twenty 
plates in illustration of the papers presented for publication during 
the year. These number thirty-four and are by the following au¬ 
thors :— 
Rev. H. C. McCook 3, W. D. Hartman 3, Jos. Leidy 2, D. S. Jordan 
2, Harrison Allen 2, Angelo Heilprin, 2, Thomas Meehan 2, Charles 
Wachsmuth and Frank Springer 2, H. C. Chapman and A. P. 
Brubacker 2, H. C. Chapman 1, Otto Meyer 1, B. H. Wright 1, A. 
M. Fielde 1, E. N. S. Ringueberg 1, E. A. Kelly 1, C. Ochsenius l r 
John Ford 1, C. R. Keyes 1, H. F. Osborn 1, H. A. Pilsbry 1, J. E. 
Ives 1, John Eyerman 1, R. W. Schufeldt 1. One of these has been 
withdrawn by the author and the others are all in course of publica¬ 
tion although two or possibly four will have to be held over until 
the issue of the first sheets of the volume for 1889. 
Eighteen additions have been made to the list of foreign corre¬ 
spondents to whom the issues of the Proceedings are distributed, the 
number being now four hundred. The domestic exchanges are 
now sixtv-eight, an increase of seven over last year. The subscrip¬ 
tion list remains the same, so that five hundred and eighty-two 
copies of the one thousand printed are promptly distributed. 
The second part of the ninth volume of the quarto Journal con¬ 
sisting of one hundred and ten pages and five lithographic plates 
was distributed, after much vexatious delay in the printing office, on 
the sixth of August. Fifty copies were sent to foreign and twelve 
copies to domestic exchanges, while thirty-nine copies were supplied 
to subscribers, making a total distribution of one hundred and one 
copies of the five hundred printed.
