June 2. Business Meeting. 
President Newberry in the chair. Thirteen persons present. 
On the recommendation of the Committee on Nominations, 
the following gentlemen were admitted to the Lyceum: 
As Resident Members,—Mr. G. W. McNulty, Martin E. 
Waldstein, Esq., and Gen. Egbert L. Viele. 
As Corresponding Member,—Mr. A. M. Tryon, of Phila- 
delphia. 
The Publication Committee announced that the Proceedings 
of the Society for the months of January and February had 
been issued, and were ready for distribution. This first 
number begins the New Series of Proceedings, which is to be 
issued by the Committee henceforth, officially. 
THE PRESIDENT remarked upon the memorial of the late 
Dr. Torrey, and suggested that, as Prof. Gray was preparing 
a full notice for the American Journal of Science, which 
would soon appear, it might be best to defer the Lyceum 
memorial until that paper had appeared. 
On motion, the Lyceum adjourned until the first Monday 
of October, as usual.
