THE SURVIVORS OF BUNKER HILL IN 1825.
The following list of one hundred and eighty officers and soldiers who were in the battle of Bunker Hill, and who reported themselves to the acting quarter-master- general, June 17, 1825, on the occasion of laying the corner-stone of the Bunker Hill monument, is taken from the original roll in the office of the adjutant-general and is reprinted by his permission. The roll was made up in pursuance of the following resolve respecting Revolutionary soldiers, passed by the General Court, June 16, 1825: "Resolved, That there be allowed and paid out of the treasury of the Commonwealth to such of the officers and soldiers who were in the battle of Bun- ker Hill, on the 17th of June, A.D. 1775, and who may be present in the town of Charlestown or city of Boston on the approaching anniversary of that event, the sum of three dollars each, and also the sum of one dollar for every twenty miles of travel to and from said town or city.
"Resolved, That the acting quarter-master-general be directed to prepare a roll of all such officers and soldiers as may report themselves to him for the procession afore- said, and that his Excellency the Governor with the advice of the Council be requested to draw his warrant on the treasury for the amount in favor of each person who may be on said roll."
The pay-roll thus prepared was signed by each officer and soldier or his representative and is preserved in the Adjutant-General's office. The list by regiments is as follows :

SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
At a meeting of the Managers of this Society, held August 7, 1889, it was voted that the paper submitted by the president, and printed on the opposite page, showing the number of troops enlisted from each State during the Revolutionary War, together with the list of officers of this Society, be printed for the use of the members, and that a copy be sent to each of the offi- cers of the National Society and each State society in the United States. We believe the source from which these figures are obtained entitles them to our fullest confidence.
Frequent meetings were held by the Managers, and upon September 8 the Board in a body paid their respects to the President of the United States, at a reception given by the City of Boston in Faneuil Hall.
At the laying of the corner-stone of the extension of the State House, Dec. 21, 1889, a full list of the mem- bers of this Society, finely engrossed on parchment, was deposited in the copper box prepared by the State for the occasion.
INSIGNIA.
A full description of the insignia of the Society, the seal, badge, and rosette, was given in the book published in 1893. It was announced in the last Congress of the National Society, that after much deliberation, the Execu- tive Committee had adopted a badge of the same form as the previous one, but intended to take the place of all others hitherto used. The price of the badge, or cross
of St. Louis, adapted to this Society, is nine dollars. It may be obtained of Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of New York, on presentation of a certificate of membership, which will be furnished by the registrar. The rosette may be procured of the registrar for thirty cents.
INFORMATION.
Persons eligible for membership in the Massachusetts Society can obtain the necessary information concerning their Revolutionary ancestors at the office of the Secretary of State, in the State House, Boston. The clerks in the office will aid an applicant in his research, and for a fee of one dollar a certificate will be given, signed by the Secretary of State, detailing the ancestor's service.
If the ancestor was a pensioner, application can be made directly to the Pension Office in Washington for a certificate, and this evidence is conclusive. No charge is made unless for extraordinary services.
The registrar, Dr. Francis H. Brown, 4 Exchange Place, Boston, will furnish information to those wishing to become members of the Society.
