Special committees. President Macallum appointed William 

 J. Gies, Graham Lusk and H. Gideon Wells a committee to confer 

 with similar committees from the American Physiological Society 

 and the American Pharmacological Society concerning the forma- 

 tion of a federation of the three societies having for its object "the 

 establishment of a stable connection between the three societies, for 

 the purpose of fixing the time and place of the annual meetings, 

 the arranging of Joint sessions whenever possible, and in general 

 to establish, officially, closer scientific and social affiliations between 

 the sister societies, while retaining their individual independence." 

 This committee was further empowered to act upon such matters 

 connected with the proposed federation as should require decision 

 before the next annual meeting of the Society, and was also author- 

 ized to confer with representatives of the American Society of 

 Naturalists concerning closer affiliation with that Society (p. 274).
