tract from the minutes of the last meeting of the Committee 

 on Library : 



The Library Committee respectfully reports to the Society that it is 

 unable to understand the plans of the Committee on Extended Accom- 

 modations as regards the general character of the new bookcases to be 

 furnished, their location, number and size. 



The Library Committee cannot intelligently carry on the work dele- 

 gated to it by the Society, unless its duties and those of the Committee on 

 Extended Accommodations be clearly defined by the Society. 



A general discussion took place, and the Chairman of the 

 Committee on Extended Accommodations explained the work 

 and the plans of the Committee. 



Prof. Houston stated the points at issue to be three, viz. : 



1. Does the Society desire all its books to be placed in the new Library 

 room ? or, 



2. Does it wish any in the North room ? or, 



3. Does it wish any in the Meeting room. 



On motion of Dr. Morris it was, nem. con. : 



Resolved, That the stock of publications issued by the Society shall 

 be placed in a portion of the North room. 



On motion of Dr. Hayes it was, nem. con. : 



Resolved, That the Committee on Extended Accommodations be di- 

 rected to locate and construct cases for books, and cabinets, in accordance 

 with plans to be approved of by the Library Committee.

Resolved, That Daniel G. Brinton and Henry Phillips, Jr., and each of 

 them, be appointed delegates to represent this Society at the meeting at 

 Moscow, this year, of the Congres International d'Anthropologie et Arche- 

 ologie Prehistoriques. provided that the said appointment shall entail no 

 expense whatever upon the Society. 



And the Society was adjourned by the President.
