CHAPTER ON PALEONTOLOGY OF MAN 



At the fifth annual meeting the proposition to organize a chapter deal- 

 ing with the paleontology of man was discussed, but action was deferred 

 and the matter was referred back to the Council. After further consid- 

 eration, the Council reports that it seems inadvisable to organize such a 

 chapter, because papers dealing with this subject are of general interest 

 to all of the members and should be presented before the Society in gen- 

 eral session.
