by  the  Chairman  to  endeavor  to  collect  the  signatures  and  dues  of  the 
members  in  question,  and  we  hereby  express  our  gratitude  to  the  follow- 
ing gentlemen  for  their  prompt  aid  extended  to  us  :  Messrs.  S.  M.  Col- 
cord  of  Boston,  P.  W.  Bedford  of  New  York,  J.  B.  Baxley  and  Prof. 
Moore  of  Baltimore,  Eugene  L.  Massot  of  St.  Louis,  E.  H.  Sargent  of 
Chicago,  Frederick  Stearns  of  Detroit,  VV.  J.  M.  Gordon  of  Cincinnati, 
J.  C.  Mattern  of  Pittsburg. 
Appended  to  this  report  we  hand  in  a  list  of  those  members  who  have 
never  answered  the  request  of  the  Executive  Committee  to  sign  the  Con- 
stitution, and  those  who  refuse  to  sign  it  mostly  for  the  reason  that  they 
never  intended  to  become  members..  We  also  append  a  list  of  those 
members  to  whom  circulars  were  sent  for  being  in  arrears  and  who  have 
never  paid  up  their  dues. 
Tt  should  be  remarked  here  that  no  communication  was  held  or  at- 
tempted with  members  of  the  above  mentioned  classes  who  reside  in 
States  lately  in  rebellion  against  the  United  States.  A  list  is  appended 
of  those  of  whom  the  Executive  Committee  could  find  no  evidence  of 
their  having  signed  the  Constitution. 
The  correspondence  in  relation  to  the  above  subjects  was  carried  on 
during  the  publication  of  the  Proceedings  of  1864.  The  chief  causes  for 
the  delay  in  issuing  the  volume,  were  beyond  the  control  of  the  Executive 
Committee.  Notwithstandin g  an  unlooked  for  delay  in  the  transmission 
of  the  minutes  and  manuscript  papers,  and  the  sending  of  proofs  to  dis- 
tant cities,  hopes  were  entertained  to  deliver  the  Proceedings  to  the  mem- 
bers early  in  January  ;  the  subsequent  delay  was  due  to  the  slow  execu- 
tion of  the  principal  plates. 
An  edition  of  one  thousand  copies  was  printed,  750  bound  in  cloth  and 
250  in  paper  covers.    The  cost  of  publishing  the  san
