 was now in press. 



Mr. McKean offered the following resolution, which was 

 unanimously adopted : 



Resolved^ That the Society permit Prof. Cope to make the 

 additions to the paper as requested by him ; but that hereafter 

 when material changes shall be proposed to a paper already 

 ordered to be printed in the Proceedings, the proposed 

 changes or additions shall first be submitted to the Secretaries, 

 and it shall be in the discretion of the Secretaries either to ad- 

 mit or exclude the changes or ask the advice of the Society 

 thereon. 



At the suggestion of the President, and on motion of Mr. 

 Phillips, it was resolved that the Committee on Publication 

 be requested to take into consideration the present system of 

 publishing the Proceedings and Transactions of the Society 

 and to report what it believed would be the best mode of pub- 

 lication and issue, and what changes if any in the present 

 method are desirable. 



The rough minutes were read and the Society was adjourned 

 by the President.
