In order to encourage the further luiification of scientific organization and the 

 development of science in the City of New York, the following arrangements have 

 been proposed, made possible by the present concentration of interest in natural 

 science at the American Museum of Natural History, and the increased resources 

 of the New York Academy of Sciences: 



1. Societies organized for the study of any branch of science may become 

 affiliated with the New York Academy of Sciences, by consent of the Council of the 

 Academy, without surrendering their own name, or losing their identity or autonomy. 



2. Members of the affiliated societies may become members of the Academy by 

 paying the Academy's annual fee, but as members of the Affiliated societies they 

 shall be Associate Members of the Academy, with the rights and privileges of such 

 Associate Members, except the receipt of its publications, without paying an addi- 

 tional fee.
