 Annals, and have elected the following members of the Editorial 

 Board: J. G. Sanders, Wm. M. Wheeler, E. M. Walker, to serve for 

 three years. T. D. A. Cockerell has resigned. 



We have re-elected Nathan Banks and A. D. MacGillivray to succeed 

 themselves in the Thomas Say Foundation. 



We beg to submit the following recommendations: 



First, that in future a time limit of fifteen minutes be placed on 

 papers in our programs, subject to extension by vote of the Society at 

 time of reading. 



Second, that one year's dues be remitted to each of our members 

 who has served in the present war in the army or navy of the United 

 States or an allied power; provided, that if such service in any case has 

 been for a longer period than one year, then the remission shall extend 

 to the full period. 



Third, that the dues of M. C. Tanquary be remitted for the three 

 years in which he was engaged in Arctic exploration as a member of the 

 Crocker Land Expedition, as a recognition of his gratuitous services to 

 science. 



T. J. Headlee, Chairman. 



The report was adopted, including the recommendations. 

 The accompanying reports were as follows:

 last year, which was the largest in our history; and the Annals has 

 withstood the rising cost of printing and maintained its high reputation.
