The Thirty-first Annual Meeting of the Ohio Academy of 
Science was held at Western Reserve University and Case 
School of Applied Science, Cleveland, Ohio, March 25 and 26, 
1921, under the Presidency of Mr. W. H. Alexander. Fifty- 
nine members were registered as in attendance; forty-seven 
new members were elected. 
In accordance with the practice begun in 1918, but of which 
discontinuance has since been threatened, a geological excursion 
was organized by Professor J. E. Hyde, Vice-President for 
Geology, 1921—22, for the three days, May 28, 29 and 30. The 
party was under the guidance of Drs. August Foerste and W. H. 
Shideler. The itinerary (Wilmington, Clarksville, Fort Ancient, 
Oregonia, Dayton) was planned for the study of the Richmond 
formations of southwestern Ohio. Like other Academy func- 
tions, the excursion was open to non-members as well as 
members; fifteen geologists were present.
