To the Philosophical Society of Washington: 
The undersigned, a committee appointed at the annual meet¬

1888, for the purpose of auditing the accounts of the Treasurer, 
respectfully report as follows : 
We have examined the statement of receipts, including dues, 
sales, and interest, and find the same to be correct and satis¬ 
factory. We have examined the statement of disbursements, 
compared it with the vouchers, and found that they agree. We 
have examined the returned checks, which agree with the 
vouchers and with the bank book, the balance of which, as re¬ 
ported by Riggs & Co. on December 27, 1888, was $956.26, 
agreeing with the Treasurer’s report. We have examined the 
United States and other bonds belonging to the Society and 
find them to be in amount and character as represented in the 
Treasurer’s report, aggregating $3,100.
