The writer expected, as will be seen from the letter of transmission, 
to have read the proof-sheets of this report, with the assistance of Prof. 
D. 8. Jordan. An arrangement had, however, been made by Prof. New- 
berry, for the reading of the proof at Columbus, by Dr. J. M. Wheaton. 
For this reason some portions of the report, which had been retained 
for additional information, and others for which I have but recently sui- 
ficient authority for inserting, failed to find their proper place, and are 
here inserted. : 
A change is necessary in the nomenclature in some cases, and it is 
here indicated. | 
Important notes from other observers have been received too late for 
insertion in the proper place, and will be found here. 
Dr. Wheaton desires me to say that the responsibility for typographical 
. errors rests with him; and I take this opportunity of returning thanks 
to him for corrections made and omissions supplied.
