 ordered paid. 



The President made a statement to the effect that, as the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science had 

 accepted the invitation to hold its next annual meeting in Rochester, 

 it was proper that all the institutions of the city should join in making 

 preparations for the entertainment of the visiting association in a 

 manner creditable to the city. It was eminently fitting that the Acad- 

 emy of Science should take the initiative in this matter, and the Pres- 

 ident suggested that, as the time had now come for some action to be 

 taken, a special committee should be appointed by the Academy to 

 secure concert of action among the many scientific, educational and. 

 civic bodies of the city.
