INTRODUCTION. 
—<g——. 
Since the publication of the Catalogue in 1831, new 
members have been admitted to the Society, the board 
of officers have several times been changed and by the 
zeal and activity of its members, and the liberality of 
its friends, many additions have been made to the col- 
Jection of curiosities, both natural and artificial; it was 
therefore deemed expedient that a Supplement be 
printed, containing only such additions and alterations 
as have occured. 
From its organization to the present time, 304 mem- 
bers have been admitted, 127 have died, and 10 have 
retired from the Society, so that at present it consists 
of 167 members, most of whom still reside in Salem.
