Report  of  Historian. 
By  Edward  Kremers. 
Because  of  absence  for  practically  one-half  of  the  time  since  our 
meeting  in  New  York  a  twelve  month  ago,  your  Reporter  has  not 
been  as  active  a  collector  as  in  previous  years.  The  appended  list, 
however,  reveals  the  fact  that  the  past  year  has  not  slipped  by 
entirely  without  new  accessions.
