PREFATORY NOTE.

THE current number of the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society completes the second volume of the New Series, embracing the three meetings from April, 1882, to April, 1883, inclusive. The reports of the Council contain much valuable matter, in addition to the biographical notices of those members who have been taken away by death and to other information laid before the Society. The reports of the Treasurer and Librarian show the state of the funds and the gratifying increase in the usefulness of the library, both from its accessions and its increased availability. Among the communications furnished by members, are Rev. Mr. Hale's "Visit to Palos and Rabida," Dr. Moore's "Notes on the History of Witchcraft in Massachusetts," Dr. Valentini's "The Olmecas and the Tultecas," Prof. Putnam's "Notes on Copper Implements from Mexico" and his article on "Iron from the Ohio Mounds," Prof. Thompson's "Robert Boyle," and "Notes on Mitla," by Louis H. Aymé. There are also interesting papers by Prof. Henry W. Haynes, Rev. Edward G. Porter, Andrew McF. Davis, Esq., and Samuel S. Green, Esq.

The Index, which will be recognized as a valuable feature, is the work of the Librarian, Mr. Barton, and his Assistant, Mr. Reuben Colton.

The supervision of this volume has been in charge of the Worcester members of the Committee on Publication.
