THE Corresponding Secretary has the honor to report that during the year 1901, fourteen women and thirty men have joined the Society. Since the closing of the Treasurer's books the following have joined, and they will be enrolled under 1902: At the beginning of the year 1901 there were upon the rolls of the Society 953 Resident and Life Members.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER. THE Treasurer submits herewith his annual report for the year ending December 31, 1901: New-England Historical and Genealogical Register Publication Account. The undersigned, as auditors of the books and accounts of the Treasurer of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society for the year 1901, beg to say that they have performed their duties carefully and conscientiously, and report as follows: The account books of the Society are kept in regular form and are, with minor clerical discrepancies, a proper reflection of the business transactions of the Society for the year. We have personally examined the securities belonging to the Society in the custody of the Treasurer, and find them exactly as specified in balance sheets submitted, and, in our opinion, unusually good investments.
