aals other than the American Journal of Physiol- 

 ogy. The amended article reads: 



Article 1, Section 1. The official organs of the 

 society shall be the America/ti Journal of Physiol- 

 ogy and such other journals as the society shall 

 from time to time establish. These the society 

 shall own and manage. 



Section 2. The management of the journals shall 

 be vested in the council. The council shall make a 

 full report to the society at each annual meeting 

 on the financial condition and the publication pol- 

 icy of the journals. 



9. The following resolutions were passed: 



(1) That this society concurs in the opinion that 

 the present multipUoity and duplication of work in 

 respect to abstracts of the literature in its field is 

 unsatisfactory. 



That we are in general sympathy with the ef- 

 fort along the general lines suggested by the Con- 

 cilium Bibliographicum to simplify and coordinate 

 such work on an international basis in respect to 

 lists of titles and brief abstracts, while retaining 

 t'- each national society complete freedom in re- 

 spect to publications in the fields of review and 

 critique. 



(2) That the Council of the American Physio- 

 logical Society extends its very great appreciation 

 of the hospitality of the Daniel Drake Society 

 which contributed so largely to the pleasures and 

 convenience of the members at the council meet- 

 ings. 



(3) That the cordial thanks of this society be 

 extended to the authorities of the University of 

 Toronto and to its local committee for their invi- 

 tation to meet at Toronto at the present time and 

 for their preparations for such meeting, which un- 

 foreseen circumstances prevented; that it is the 

 hope of this society that another and early oppor- 

 timity may be given to meet at the University of 

 Toronto. 



(4) That the American Physiological Society 

 hereby expresses its very great appreciation of the 

 courtesy and hospitality extended to its members 

 and guests by the officers and faculty, and partic- 

 ularly by the local committee, of the college of 

 medicine of the University of Cincinnati which 

 have gone far to make this meeting an unusual 

 success.
