DISCUSSION. 



The Chairman: — Is there any discussion on this paper presented by Mr. 

 Kenney? I am sure we are all grateful to Mr. Kenney for his trouble in giving 

 us such useful information and that you will permit the chairman to offer him the 

 thanks of the Society. 



Now, gentlemen, we have come to the conclusion of one of our most successful 

 meetings. We hope, most of us, to meet together again at seven o'clock at the 

 Waldorf-Astoria. There now remains for the Chair nothing to do but to thank 

 you on behalf of the authors for your appreciative attention to their papers, and 

 to thank the authors for their earnest labor in preparing such valuable contribu- 

 tions for the Society, and to congratulate every one on participating in such an 

 eminently satisfactory meeting. Such a successful meeting, however, cannot be 

 had except through the constant and unremitting labor of our official colleagues, 

 and among those there is none who deserves greater credit and to whom your thanks 

 are due in greater measure than the hard-working Secretary. Before adjourning, 

 therefore, I ask you to give a vote of appreciation and thanks to the Secretary for 

 all he has done in giving us such an excellent program for this meeting. (I,oud 

 applause.) 



The Twentieth General Meeting of the Society is now adjourned sine die.
