(At the suggestion of Mr. Butler a standing vote was taken, which re- 
sulted unanimously in favor of resuming the Spring meetings. ) 
Mr. Butter: Mr. Chairman. We have a telegram of greeting from 
the Ohio Academy of Science, and I move that the Secretary be instructed

to notify all delinquent members that the constitutional rules against such 
will be enforced, by order of the Academy. 
(Seconded and carried.)

penses of this year and the year coming. 
(Seconded and carried.) 
Mr. J. S. WrigHT: In view of the fact that the Academy has received 
many favors from the Claypeol Hotel in giving us this room without 
charge, and a room for the section meetings, and other courtesies, I move
