The resolution committee presented the following report: 



The North Carolina Academy of Science, assembled for its four- 

 teenth annual session, finds itself under renewed obligations to Presi- 

 dent Poteat, Dean Brewer, and the Faculty of Wake Forest College 

 for the considerate manner in which they have provided us with a 

 meeting place, and the kindly and gracious manner in which the 

 citizens of Wake Forest have entertained us in their homes. 



The Academy feels itself the richer for having heard the scholarly 

 address of President Wolfe, and the Academy, which already owes a 

 great debt to its Secretary-Treasurer for the able manner in which 

 he has conducted his office, feels itself again with greatly increased 

 obligations on its hands. 



Therefore be it resolved by the North Carolina Academy of Science, 

 that President Poteat, Dean Brewer, the Faculty of Wake Forest 

 College, the citizens of Wake Forest, President Wolfe and Secretary 

 Gudger have combined to make this one of the most profitable meetings 

 of this Academy. 



The report of the legislative committee on ventilation 

 was then called for and the committee then discharged from 

 further duty. 



At 10 o'clock the reading and discussion of papers was 

 then resumed with some 25 members and visitors present. 

 The session continued until all had been read when adjourn- 

 ment was had at 1 :20 P. M. Of the 23 papers on the pro- 

 gram only three were read by title. 



The membership of the Academy at the present time is as 

 follows (those present at this meeting being indicated by
