as read. Demarchus Brown, State Librarian, was called upon to present 
minutes on the relation of the State Library to our Proceedings and ex-

President Williamson discussed causes that led to abandoning of the 
general winter meeting a year ago, prevalence of Influenza. The Conser- 
vation Bill went into effect April 1, 1919. It required the nomination of 
three members of Academy of Science from which the Governor of the 
State was to select one to serve on the committee. President Williamson 
appointed a canvassing committee to determine by correspondence who 
should be nominated. Stanley Coulter was so named by the Governor from 
the list of three submitted by the Secretary. 
On motion, duly passed, the twenty-three persons nominated were elected 
to membership in the Academy.
