The report of the committee on time and place was tluni 

 called for. 



Mr. Titcomb : The Committee on Time and Place met last 

 evening to hear what any one had to offer for inducement* as to 

 the time and place of the next meeting. No one appeared lo 

 advocate any place in particular except Dr. Bean and Mr. Clark. 

 Mr. Clark extended the invitation for the city of Buffalo whicii 

 had been transmitted to him through circulars, as is customary 

 with quite a number of these cities which entertain conventions. 

 Mr. Peabody stated that he had received circulars from several 

 other cities in the same way — ^^Cleveland, Detroit and others. 

 Dr. Bean advocated having the meeting during the exposition at 

 St. Louis, his chief argument being that at that time there will 

 be an international fisheries congress. The committee in ticking 

 into consideration Dr. Bean's suggestion, are unanimous in their 

 opinion that during an exposition like the one in St. Louis, the 

 Societv would be lost during the meetings in the convention hall.
