 bership. But the Academy cannot consent to his retirement and 

 desires to present him this Life Membership. 



Miss Beckwith, the Chairman of the Botanical Section, added 

 her tribute to Mr. Streeter, saying that he had not only hospitably 

 opened his house for the meetings of the Section, but he had freely 

 given his time and the use of his library, specimens, and scientific 

 apparatus. 



On motion of Professor Charles Wright Dodge, Mr. 

 Streeter was unanimously elected a Life Member of the Academy.

Dr. G. W. Goler spoke of the results of the establishment by 

 the Board of Health of milk stations for providing pure milk for 

 children in Rochester. 



Professor C. W. Dodge gave the results of some experiments 

 in filtering milk. It had been hoped that filtering would take the 

 place of Pasteurizing the milk for these stations, but it was not found 

 to reduce the number of bacteria to any marked degree. In the milk 

 which was Pasteurized there were no traces of bacteria. 



Mr. George H. Chadwick spoke of the "Seventeen-year 

 Locusts ' ' now invading the towns of Greece and Webster and the 

 country north of Rochester. It is an irregular visit, but they are the 

 genuine seventeen-year Locusts, Cicada septendecivi. 



Professor Charles Wright Dodge gave a lecture upon 



FERTILIZATION AMONG PLANTS. 

 The lecture was illustrated by a large number of lantern views.
