 he desired to withdraw the same and recommended that the 

 request be granted. On motion, the Society permitted the 

 paper to be withdrawn.

The following minute was read from the Library Committee : 



Stated Meeting, October 10, 1891. 



The Chairman was authorized to report to the Society the suggestion 

 that the fireproof for the valuable books and papers heretofore ordered by 

 a vote of the Society, which order was not executed because of the absence 

 of any sufficient foundation for the fireproof, be now carried into effect, 

 as the walls of the building appear to be entirely sufficient for that pur- 

 pose. 



On motion, the Library Committee respectfully requested the Curators 

 to indicate to the Committee what cases they will need for the purposes 

 mentioned by Dr. Morris to the Committee for the display of antiquities, 

 etc.
