THE Committee having in charge the preparation of this Catalogue are exceedingly desirous that members and others interested should give it a careful exami- nation, so that, in the Memorial Volume shortly to be issued, errors may be corrected and omissions supplied.
The memorial volume will contain, in addition to the biographies of members, some account of the family of each; and members having such facts in their pos- session, who have not already communicated them, are requested to forward them as soon as possible to FRANCIS S. DRAKE, at the Rooms of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, No. 18 Somerset Street, Boston.
The Committee also desire that portraits of the original members should accompany the notices of them in the volume, and request that such engravings as are in ex- istence will be placed at their disposal for this purpose. Where paintings alone exist, it is hoped that their pos- sessors will avail themselves of so excellent an oppor- tunity as this, and cause them to be engraved for the work.
