On motion of Mr. Stodder, a suspension of the rule was 

 ordered, by which all books shall be returned to the library 

 before the annual meeting. As the books had only been put 

 in circulation within a few days, this seemed unnecessary at 

 the present time. 



The following gentlemen were elected Resident Members 

 of the Society: — Messrs. Henry F. Lambert, WilUam S. Ap- 

 pleton, Jonathan Dorr and John T. Ogden.
