The curator, Dr. Lutz, commented on the change in the society's meeting 

 place from that in the balcony to the present one in the room formerly occu- 

 pied by him. This change was necessary, owing to the fact that the former 

 location would have to be used as an entrance to the new wing of the build- 

 ing when it was completed. Dr. Lutz also reported for the committee ap- 

 pointed to look after the Zabriskie collection, and stated that the committee 

 had consulted with Dr. Zabriskie's heirs and they had requested that the 

 society dispose of the collection as Dr. Zabriskie would have desired. 



Moved by Mr. G. W. J. Angell and carried that the society present the 

 collection to the Museum. 



Suggested by Dr. Lutz that the local material in the collection be placed 

 in the society's local collection. 



As the relatives of Dr. Zabriskie had desired to know the size of the 

 collection the secretary was directed to send them the number of specimens 

 represented when ascertained. 



Mr. Geo. J. Keller, of Newark, was proposed for membership by Mr. 

 Grossbeck. Moved by Dr. Lutz that the by laws be suspended and on motion 

 the secretary cast the vote of the society for Mr. Keller. 



Mr. Davis stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Wm. Schaus 

 requesting three back numbers of the Journal. Moved and carried that the 

 desired copies be presented to Mr. Schaus.
