The President, and Messrs. Clark Williams and Fred- 

 eric H. Kennard were appointed a committee to purchase 

 the buffalo for the Montana Range. 



Prof. Hooper, Dr. Hornaday and Madison Grant 

 were appointed a committee to take such steps as might be 

 necessary to secure the passage of a bill providing for a 

 herd of buffalo on a suitable range in the Adirondacks, 

 and to secure the signature of the Governor of New York 

 State. 



Prof. Hooper explained that it had been deemed wise 

 to postpone the summer meeting of the Society at Corbin 

 Park, on account of the absence of the Secretary in the 

 West, and partly because President Roosevelt found that 

 he could not be present. The Committee having the mat- 

 ter in charge was authorized to arrange for the meeting 

 this year, if found practicable to do so. 



Prof. Hooper, Dr. Hornaday and Dr. Palmer, were 

 appointed a committee to consider the question of state 

 buffalo herds, with power to take such steps as might be 

 necessary to provide for the establishment of state parks 

 for the maintenance of buffaloes.
