Mr. Davis read a letter from our fellow member, Mr. James Chapin, 

 dated Avakubi, Congo, October 7, 1913, announcing his safe arrival there 

 and his prospects of an early return to New York. Mr. Davis referred 

 to the fact that Mr. Chapin left New York on his trip to Africa, under 

 the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History, in May, 1909, 

 and that for a period of nearly two years no word had been received from 

 the expedition and grave fears had been entertained as to the safety of 

 the members. 



Mr. S. McKee Smith exhibited a large glaciated sandstone concretion, 

 found in Hamilton Park. Both the interior concretionary structure and the 

 exterior marks of glaciation were unusually well exemplified in the specimen.
