The secretary as chairman of the committee appointed to 

 consider the advisability of holding joint meetings with the In- 

 diana Academy of Science, reported the correspondence with the 

 secretary of the Indiana Academy, Prof. J. H. Ransom, of Pur- 

 due University. There seemed no doubt as to the value to both 

 societies resulting from such a meeting, although plans already 

 made by the Indiana Academy may make it necessary to defer 

 such co-operation until the November meeting in 1910. 



After the election of a nominating committee consisting of 

 Professors Osborn, Rice, and Stickney, the business meeting was 

 adjourned until Saturday morning at 8:00 a. m. while the so- 

 ciety proceeded with the reading of papers, adjourning at 12 

 o'clock for luncheon. 



The afternoon session opened with the address of the I'resi- 

 dent. Professor Frank Carney, on "The Raised Beaches of the 

 Berea, Cleveland, and Euclid Quadrangles." The section in 

 Biology then met in room "A" the section in Geology remaining 

 in room "B," and the program was continued. 



After a recess of 10 minutes, the society convened as a 

 body to listen to papers on "The Preservation and Development 

 of the Natural Resources of Ohio." Professor J. A. Bownocker 

 opened the discussion from the standpoint of Geology, followed 

 by Professor W. R. Lazenby, who presented the Forestry side of 

 the question, while Professor Herbert Osborn considered it from 

 the Biological point of view. An interesting discussion fol- 

 lowed. Adjournment was then made for the afternoon. 



In the evening the society listened to an interesting address 

 by Professor R. S. Tarr, of Cornell University, on "The Glaciers 

 of Mount St. Elias and Vicinity." This was illustrated by lan- 

 tern slides. 



Saturday at 8:00 a. m. occurred the adjourned business 

 meeting. The report of the nominating committee was received 

 and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year:
