the Physiological Society and appointment by the 

 council. 



A noteworthy e'ront of the meeting was an ex- 

 hibit of old and historical books on anatomy and 

 physiology arranged by Professor Arno B. Luek- 

 hardt, of the University of Chicago. This exhibit 

 was open during the entire session. A very profit- 

 able scientific program was carried forward as re- 

 corded below. The society in closing its annual 

 session passed the following resolution: 



Sesolved: That the American Physiological So- 

 ciety expresses its keen appreciation to the au- 

 thorities of the University of Chicago and to the 

 local committee for the numerous and effective ar- 

 rangements that have contributed in a large de- 

 gree to the scientific and social success of this the 

 thirty-third annual session of the society.
