Later volumes have no appendix until the year 1885 is reached, when the Governor's message and the inaugural addresses are included.

Series C. Senate Journal. The series is regular from 1868. There is a "Senate Journal, 1897," as the Senate succeeded in effecting an organization that year while the House did not, and therefore the corresponding Journal for the House is lacking. The volume for 1897 has the Governor's Message for an appendix; the volume for 1901 has the Governor's Message and Accompanying Documents."
