PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 
[1890. 
The following annual reports were read and referred to the Pub¬ 
lication Committee:— 
REPORT OF RECORDING SECRETARY. 
The average attendance at the meetings of the Academy during 
the year ending Nov. 30 has been thirty, a marked improvement on 
that of preceding years. The meeting of the Sections at stated 
intervals continues to be productive of good results, as specialists are 
in this way enabled to attend the meetings at which matters of inter¬ 
est will be presented for their consideration. Verbal communica¬ 
tions have been made by Messrs. Leidy, Heilprin, Brinton, Hous¬ 
ton, Horn, Meehan, Woolman, Rothrock, Pilsbry, Allen, Dali, Wil¬ 
son, McCook, Koenig, Ryder, Meyer, Rand, English, Calvert, 
Sharp, Rex, Thomas, Wingate, Baker, Goldsmith, Morris, U. C. 
Smith, Willcox, Sudduth, Lyman, Schaeffer, Martindale, Skinner, 
Foote, Red field and Bancroft. 
Ninty-six pages of the Proceedings for 1889 and three hundred 
and thirty-six of the volume for 1890 have been issued, the former 
illustrated by two and the latter by seven plates. The distribution 
remains the same as last year. The publications of the Conchologi- 
cal and Entomological Sections noted in my last report have been 
issued regularly during the year. 
Forty-two papers have been presented for publication as fol¬ 
lows :—H. A. Pilsbry 6, F. C. Baker 4, Angelo Heilprin 4, A. E. 
Brown 2, J. E. Ives 2, J. B. Ellis and B. M. Everhart 2, Witmer

lication in the Proceedings, one for the Journal and one has been 
recommended for publication in a medical journal to be selected by 
the author. 
Twenty-eight members and eight correspondents have been elected. 
The deaths of fifteen members and two correspondents were an¬ 
nounced and resignations of membership by Dr. Edw. Jackson and 
Emily G. Hunt were accepted.
