REPORT.

Vol. II. of the History and Proceedings of our Association is herewith presented; it covers a period of ten years-1880-1889. It has been printed under the same authority as Vol. I., with which it is uniform. This volume has been edited by the chairman of the committee, with the assistance of Miss Jane E. Pratt, and to him must be chargeable all its shortcomings.

Vol. I. did not meet with the expected demand and Vol. II. is limited to an edition of 300 copies.

The attention of the Association is called to the fact that we have now on hand nearly or quite material enough for another volume. Deerfield, February, 1898. GEORGE SHELDON.
