Mr. Baleom suggested a certain park near Anderson that is noted 
for its archaeological remains. 
Mr. Robert W. McBride presented a resolution with reference to 
the preservation of Bacon’s Swamp, as follows: 
RESOLVED, “That the members of the Indiana Academy of Sci- 
ence, the Indiana Audubon Society, and The Nature Study Club 
have inspected Bacon’s Swamp and its surroundings, and have been 
impressed by its fitness for the preservation of many forms of wild 
life where they are of easy access; therefore, be it 
RESOLVED, That we heartily and without reserve approve and 
commend the suggestion that its ownership be acquired by the State, 
or by the city of Indianapolis, and that it be set aside and pro- 
tected, and all of its natural beauties, and all of its wild life be 
preserved for the benefit of the people.” 
After a brief talk by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the business session 
adjourned at 9:20 p. m., after which Mr. E. B. Williamson entertained
