THIRD ANNUAL SUMMER MEETING. 



DETROIT, AUGUST 10, 1837. 



The third annual summer meeting of the Academy was held at the 

 high school building, Detroit, on the afternoon of August 10, 1897. 



The meeting was called to order at 4:30 p. m., by the president, Prof. 

 Yolney M. Spalding, and the minutes of the last regular meeting were 

 read by the secretary and approved. 



Owing to the absence of a 'quorum of the Council, no report was pre- 

 sented from that body, and no new members could be elected. 



An informal report by Dr. W. J. Beal of the legislative committee, 

 explained the failure of the bill which it had been hoped would authorize 

 the printing of the Academy's proceedings. 



Owing to the small attendance no attempt w T as made to transact further 

 business, and the Academy adjourned to attend the meeting of the Ameri- 

 can Association for the Advancement of Science then in session in De- 

 troit.
