At the close of the last general session the 

 appreciation of the society for the material 

 facilities and social arrangements of the local 

 committee was expressed in the following reso- 

 lution : 



The American Physiological Society wishes to 

 express its sincere thanks to the Tale University 

 and to the local committee for the splendid facili- 

 ties offered for the scientific meetings, and for 

 the cordial hospitality extended to members 

 attending the meetings. 



SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS 



The scientific sessions of the annual meeting 

 were of high merit throughout. Perhaps the 



most profitable featur-e of the meeting was the 

 vigorous discussion which charaeteinzed a large 

 majority of the subjects presented. Too many 

 themes were introduced for the time available, 

 thus crowding the program. It was evident 

 that more restriction would have to be used if 

 representative reports of the activities of Amer- 

 ican physiologists are to be discussed within 

 the limit of a three days session. The entire list 

 of titles reported at the meeting or announced 

 in the printed program is as follows: 



The effect of tliyroidectomy on heat production 

 following injury to the suprarenal cortex in rai- 

 iits: David Marine and Emil J. Baumann. 



Metabolism studies with enemata of dextrose 

 and levulose: Thorne M. Carpenter.

Does the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial 

 blood during progressive anoxemia support the 

 secretary theory? C. W. Green and Carl H. Greene. 



Determination of the acid base balance of the 

 blood: Donald D. VanSlyke. 



Tlie acid base equilibrium in the blood after 

 parathyroidectomy : D. Dwight Wilson and C. L. 

 Krantz. 



Carbon dioxide as an inhibitent of cell growth: 

 G. H. A. Clowes and Homer W. Smith. 



Injury, recovery and death. Lantern: W. J. T. 

 Osterhout. 



Elective localization of bacteria following vari- 

 ous methods of inoculation and the production of 

 nephritis by devitalization and infection of teeth
