PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

Fourth—At present I expect to be able to get the results, of the investigation into complete shape to present to the commission by the Christmas holidays at the latest, and if possible earlier than this date. Fifth—The publication of the detailed results of the investigation will require several volumes. I am preparing a request to present to the Carnegie Institution at Washington, asking that the complete results of our work-be published in full through that channel. This request will be placed in your hands for your approval in the near future. In the meantime much of the data will appear in condensed form in the various scientific journals from time to time. Yours very truly,

H. S. GRINDLEY.
