 in the minutes, were elected to membership, after which the club 

 adjourned.

Orton Hall, Monday, Dec. 2, 1907. 



On the above named date the Biological Club met in its usual 

 place and was called to order by the President. The minutes of 

 the previous meeting were read and, after corrections were made, 

 were approved. 



Reports from the meeting of the Ohio Academy of Science 

 held at Oxford, Ohio, were called for. Professors Hine, Osborn 

 and Hubbard gave brief reports, and Mr. Morgulis read two of 

 his own papers presented at the meeting. 



The paper of the evening was presented by Mr. C. F. Jackson 

 on "Some Modern Conceptions of Evolution as applied to the 

 Aphididae." First, the definition and position of the familv 

 were taken up, followed by notes on life history. This proved 

 most interesting because of the great numbers of these insects 

 which are produced without fertilization. 



After the completion of the program, the names proposed at 

 the previous meeting were elected to membership. The follow- 

 ing new names were proposed for membership: V. L. Wilder- 

 muth, T. H. Parks, R. E. Hundertmark, H. Barber, E. J. 

 Hoddy, M. Denny, M. E. Corotis, B. Anspon. The Club then 

 adjourned to meet in four weeks. 



Arthur H. McCray, Secretary. 



Orton Hall, Monday, Jan. 0, 1908. 



On the above named date the Biological Club met in its usual 

 place, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and 

 approved. On account of the Secretar}' asking for an expression 

 from the Club as to whether the minutes should include a brief 

 review of papers presented at the meetings. Prof. Hine made a 

 motion, which was carried, that the minutes include reports of 

 those papers not published in the Naturalist. 



The paper of the evening was presented by Mr. Sergius 

 Morgulis on "Regeneration: Facts and Reflections." Regcn- 

 eration may be regarded as one of the fundamental properties of 

 living matter. Nails, hairs, nerve fibers and nerve tissue may be 

 replaced, while in lower organisms, as in salamanders, gills, jaws, 

 eyes, and limbs, can be regenerated.
