 Council, and the desired information has been supplied. 



On April 23d and 24th the Secretary represented the Ohio Academy 

 of Science at the very interesting Semi-Centennial of the Wisconsin 

 Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters in Madison. This was done at 

 the request of the President, and was made financially possible, without

 group of Columbus members, to whom the Secretary wishes to express 

 his very genuine thanks, although he does not know their names. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward L. Rice, Secretary.
