196 CARNEGIE INSTITUTION 



6. That special Carnegie Institution publications shall promptly 

 give to the world the results of the Institution's work — that is, the 

 work of its faculty, fellows, and aided individuals and institutions. 

 The circulation of these publications should be wide, to reach all 

 deserving persons interested, and at a nominal price. It is sug- 

 gested that later a plan can be devised to supply promptly and thor- 

 oughly edited science abstracts, as filling a most important need. 



Respectfully submitted, 



R. H. Thurston, Chairman, 



W. H. Burr, 



George Gibbs, 



Geo. S. Morison, 



Chas. p. Steinmetz, 



Committee.
