After waiting over two years for the copy of Miscellaneous Document No. 159, being the Report of the National Academy of Sciences, and, after having appealed repeatedly to Professor Henry to furnish the same, without avail, the Congressional Printer is forced to close this volume, that it may be bound, with this note of explanation, showing the reason why this Report does not answer to the index.
