The Treasurer presented his report and called attention and discussed in detail certain items in it. He was then authorized, at his discretion, to reduce or pay off the balance of the Museum's loan at the United States Trust Company. 

The Chairman reported that Mr. Keppler had turned over an additional collection of specimens to the Museum as a loan to be known and separately catalogued as the Gyantwaka Collection. 

The Chairman also reported that the Viking Fund, Incorporated, had granted the sum of $2,500. for making a publication on specimens in the Museum from the Spiro Mound, Le Flore County, Oklahoma. In connection with this he reported that Mr. John Maffenbeier had generously consented to lend the specimens in his collection from that location.
