REPORT OF THE TREASURER. THE Treasurer respectfully reports: That, in compliance with a resolution passed at Detroit, a circular has been sent to the address of each permanent member of this Association, announcing the repeal of all pre-existing laws, by the operation of which membership with this Association had been rendered conditional upon an annual subscription to the Transactions. The wisdom of the Association in retiring from all attempt at coercion, is visible in an increased demand for the Transactions. The subscription for the previous year has been exceeded to the amount of nearly one-fourth since it has been announced to permanent members that the privilege of subscribing to the volume might be exercised or declined at pleasure. Very general subscription to the Transactions, on the part of permanent members, is necessary for the treasury, for there has not been at any meeting of the Association a sufficient number of delegates present to pay for the printing of the Transactions, and in the event of two small meetings of the Association in succession, the balance in the treasury would be expended, and every exertion to dispose of the Transactions among the permanent members be required to procure means for the Committee of Publication. In view of these facts, it is of the utmost importance that the funds of the Association should not be diverted, under any pretext, from their accustomed channels, these being supplied mainly through the personal exertions of a limited number of active. members.
