PROCEEDINGS. 

 Meeting of April 6th, 1894, 



The President, Mr. Charles S. Shultz, in the chair. 



Forty-six persons present. 



A communication was presented from the Secretary of the 

 Scientific Alliance, asking the concurrence of the Society in an 

 application to the postal authorities to reduce the postage on 

 mailable scientific specimens, and also in requesting scientific 

 societies in foreign lands to act in the same matter at the ap- 

 proaching postal union. 



The Board of Directors unanimously resolved on such concur- 

 rence. 



Mr. Stephen Helm addressed the Society on '' Marine Life.'^
