 Your Committee on Resolutions beg leave to report as follows: 

 Our meeting at the Ohio State University has been rendered 

 unusually pleasant by the hospitality of the entire staff of the institution, 

 and especially by the kindness and careful attentiveness of the members 

 of the Department of Zoology and Entomology, to all of whom our 

 thanks are due. 



_ We congratulate Professor Herbert Osborn on the fine and servicable 

 building in which his work is now carried on, and desire to express our 

 continued obligation to him for his services as Managing Editor of the 

 Annals. 



The retirement of Professor MacGilHvray from the post of Secretary- 

 Treasurer should not pass without acknowledgment of his efficient 

 service; he has performed the numerous duties of his office with rare 

 fidelity and good judgment, and the present standing of our Society 

 is in considerable measure due to this fact. 



Respectfully submitted, 



J. M. Aldrich,
