REPORT OF THE TREASURER. 
Mr. President and Gentlemen: 
The report which I shall presently have the honor to submit to 
you exhibits the total receipts and disbursements for the fiscal year 
ending with this meeting. 
The receipts, however, include amounts received for outstanding 
dues of previous years, and it is, therefore, proper to say that the 
income belonging to the year 1887 was $1,035.75, and the expendi¬ 
ture $568.22, leaving a net surplus for the year of $467.53. 
The unpaid dues of former years which have been collected in 
1887 amount to $120. 
The assets of the Society consist of: 
2 Government bonds, $1,000 and $500, at 4 per cent., $1,500 00 
1 ‘‘ bond, 1,000, 44 “ 1,000 00 
6 Cosmos Club mortgage bonds, “ 5 “ 600 00 
Cash with Riggs & Co. 942 05 
Unpaid dues.. 265 00 
Total.$4,307 05 
The removal of the Society from its old place of meeting at the 
Army Medical Museum made it nececessary to provide certain 
articles of furniture and equipment for use in its new quarters. 
The ninth volume of the Bulletin was duly issued in January to 
all members entitled to receive it, and to the societies and scientific 
journals with which it is customary for the Philosophical Society to 
exchange publications.
