Because of gaps in the records of the latter and of the fragmentary character of available records of the four antecedent or contemporary organizations of the same or similar name, the list is known to be complete as to names and terms of office for the years 1879 1900, 1908-10, and 1914 38 only. Itis interesting to note that with the exception of the present society's early contemporary, the rival organization of 1882, each of the societies included among its officers one or more men who had served at officers of one or more of the earlier societies. 38
