The advisability of discontinuing the section meetings during the

 and Earth. Dr. S. Barrett moved that such meetings be discontinued 

 until September. Seconded. Mr. H. L. Ward moved an amendment that 

 the evening's meeting be included because of the sweltering heat, 

 which amendment was lost through non-support. The previous motion 

 was then put to vote and carried. 



Mr. Henry L. Ward gave an informal talk on Some Features of 

 Eastern Museums as noted during an Inspection Tour Eecently Made. 

 This was an account of a three weeks tour through the East in which 

 35 institutions besides several private collections were visited, partici- 

 pated in by Mr. Ward, Dr. S. Barrett and Dr. S. Graenicher. The tour 

 had its inception in the convention of the Museums Association at 

 Buffalo. From there Albany, Boston, Cambridge, New York, Phila- 

 delphia, Washington, Pittsburgh and Chicago were visited. Mr. Ward 

 sain that the purpose of the tour was primarily the study of the 

 Museum buildings, their lighting and ventilation, their equipment and 

 their relations to the public; the scientific side of collections was 

 only secondarily considered. 



1'pon motion the meeting adjourned.
