D. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE

COMMITTEE.

[Submitted to the Society at the Forty-fourth Annual Meeting, December 10, 1896.]

SUMMARY.

The fiscal year just closed has been, for the Society, a season of quiet progress. Although seriously hampered for funds, accessions have, in most departments, been customarily large; public interest in our work is becoming more manifest; the new home for the Society, so generously provided for by the legislature of 1895, is in course of construction, and bids fair to meet our most sanguine expectations; and there is every reason to
