THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION

SIXTY-FIRST REPORT.

AN ENGRAVED CHARTER FOR FRAMING.

Our attention has been called to the fact that heretofore we have sent
to our Chapters no charters, or certificates, suitable for framing.

To remedy this deficiency, we have engaged one of the leading firms of
New-York City to design a very beautiful A. A. Charter, to be handsomely
engraved on bond or parchment paper. The size of the charter will be
about 12 x 18 inches or larger.

At the top is drawn an open ST. NICHOLAS, showing on one page Prof.
Agassiz's portrait, and on the other, representations of the animal and
vegetable kingdoms.

Above the magazine is our badge, the Swiss Cross; and below is the
motto, _Per Naturam ad Deum_. Then follows the certificate proper,
handsomely ornamented, bearing the name of the founder of the Chapter,
the name, number, and letter of the same, and signed with the autograph
of the President of the A. A. Of course the first two hundred
impressions--or artist's proofs--are the finest. Many members are so
pleased with them that they wish to secure copies for their individual
possession.

THE CLASS IN MINERALOGY.

None of the courses of study we have ever had the pleasure of offering
to our friends, has had the magnificent success which is attending Prof.
Crosby's class in mineralogy. At this writing no less than eighty-nine
pupils are enrolled, and as Chapters usually take the course through one
representative, this number doubtless means that at the least five
hundred persons are learning how to observe and describe minerals, under
most competent instruction. To each pupil is sent a set of thirty
valuable specimens, and all exercises are corrected and returned for
revision. Geographically, the class extends from Washington Territory to
England.

REPORTS OF CHAPTERS.

We have to begin again this month, as last, by presenting the excellent
reports of dilatory Chapters. A little more promptness hereafter, good
secretaries, if you please!
