Trans. N. Y. Ac. Sez. _ 126 Feb. 27, 
ACTIONS. This had been accomplished largely by the care and pains 
taken by Dr. A. A. JULIEN, who had concluded arrangements with the 
weekly journal, ‘‘ Science,” to publish regular reports of the Academy’s 
proceedings, after which the type could be re-arranged so as to issue 
the record ina pamphlet form for free distribution to the members. 
Mr. MICHELS, the editor of “‘ Science,” had been very accommodating 
in the whole matter ; and the result was that the TRANSACTIONS could 
thus be issued at a very moderate cost to the Society. This publica- 
tion had now been undertaken as an experiment, for one year; and it 
is hoped that the movement would be so sustained as to assure its per- 
manence. 
A change was recommended in the price of the “ Annals,” from 
$2 (which rate would be continued to resident members) to $3 for 
non-residents, and $5 for persons living in the city and not members of 
the Academy. The TRANSACTIONS are to be sentfree of cost to resi- 
dent members, and furnished to others at the same prices as those just 
mentioned for the “ Annals.” 
Prof. T. EGLESTON addressed the Society with reference to the ap- 
proaching Convention to be held at Washington, in regard to the 
question of organizing the system of International Time, and selecting 
standard meridians. He recommended that the Academy should take 
action similar to that of some other scientific bodies, in apposnting a 
delegate to that Convention. : 
Prof. JOHN K, REES was nominated as such a representative of the 
Academy, and unanimously elected. 
The Society then proceeded to the annual election of officers, with 
the following result—all being chosen unanimously, save a very few 
scattering votes :
