The committee has prepared a resolution which it hopes may be com- 
municated to every member of the legislature at its special session. It 
would also devise that each member of the Academy seek through his 
representative, to have the original appropriation restored. 
It was pointed out that there had been no change in the wording of the 
original appropriation since it was made in 1909, and that it had thus passed 
the House and Senate but that it had been omitted by the enrolling clerk. 
The report was received and on motion was duly passed. Tne Secretary 
is authorized to have five hundred (500) copies of this appropriation bill 
printed for distribution to members of the legislature, and a committee of 
three is to be appointed to formulate a letter to be sent by the Academy 
members to each member of the legislature. 
A discussion followed on the advisability of asking for an increased 
appropriation but the consensus of opinion fayored a request for tweive 
hundred dollars ($1,200), the sum which the legislature intended to appro- 
priate rather than to make an uncertain trial for a large amount, though 
the demands are urgent. The committee: 
Howard E. Enders, 
Stanley Coulter, 
A. M. Kenyon. 
Program Committee. 
C. C. Deam and F. B. Wade reported that a program of fifty-seven (57) 
titles is printed, together with eleven delayed titles. Provision has been 
made with the Claypool Management for rooms to provide for a satisfactory 
rendering of the program and the banquet. 
Committee on Biological Survey. 
H. S. Jackson, chairman, reported that the work of the committee during 
the year had been chiefly to stimulate activity on the part of persons en- 
gaged in the work of the State, and it has thus secured the promise of two 
papers for the present meeting. 
The report was then read which indicated, in part, the work accomplished 
in previous years and outlined the possibilities for early attention. It is 
advised that a committee be appointed to confer with the State Conserva- 
tion commission, with a view to cooperate with it in extending the survey. 
On motion: first, the report was received; second, a committee is to be 
named to prepare a resolution for presentation at the close of the Sym- 
posium on Friday evening. It is understood that the committee is to confer 
with the members of the Conservation Commission on this matter. Com- 
mittee: 
C. H. Higenmann, 
Glenn Culbertson, 
H. 8S. Jackson.
