Mr. Stranali.'in : With reference to this matter of the profes- 

 sors and biological work. Suppose the work was interfered with 

 in lulv, thev would only have to lose a half a day, aside fr(jni 

 the time that they devote to the convention. It would he a 

 pleasant trip for them, and there is no doubt they would like a 

 little rest after a couple of weeks" work. I don't believe it will 

 interfere with one of these men that are at Tut-in- liay. 



Prof. IHrge : That is my feeling. I move that it is the sense 

 of this meeting that the date of the next meeting be fixed for the 

 ijth of julv. I offer this as an amendment to tlic report of the 

 conuuitttee as to the time of meeting. 



President May : The (piestion is on the amendment. [)lacing 

 the date July 12th. 



The motion was then put by the president, who said : T am 

 in doubt as to whether the motion carried or not. T will ask 

 for a rising vote. 



A rising vote was taken, which resulted in four members 

 voting for the amendment and six members voting against the 

 same, and the amendment was lost. 



President May: The vote now^will be on the date named 

 by the committee, which is the 28th and 29th of June, 1899.
