 be demonstrative."

The report was accepted, and the Committee continued ; but it 

 was the sense of the meeting that the Society should not formally 

 recommend any particular book, although they did wish to sup- 

 port the eflbrts of their Committee. 



To meet this situation Prof. W. H. Brewer introduced the 

 following resolution : — 



Resolved^ That this Society recommends that instruction in 

 Elementary Science, following some such general plan as that 

 reported by the Committee, be given in the secondary schools. 



This motion was adopted. 



The Committee on the " Journal of Morphology " made the 

 following report : — 



The Committee on the "Journal of Morphology" beg leave 

 to report that of the ten (lo) copies of the '" Journal " purchased 

 by the Society, five (t^) copies have been given away to secure 

 subscriptions to the " Journal." The Committee asks the author- 

 ization of tlie Society to use the remaining copies in securing 

 subscriptions from individuals^ in case it seems to tliem improb- 

 able that the desired number of institutions will accept the 

 terms offered by the Society.
