This committee had the misfortune to 

 lose, before the assembling of the congress, 

 two of its most able and respected mem- 

 bers. Dr. Thomas Wilson and Major J. W. 

 Powell, whose deaths were deeply felt by 

 all their colleagues. 



The labor of preparing for the meetings, 

 arranging the program and other exercises 

 fell upon the president, vice-president, 

 secretary, treasurer and the authorities of 

 the American Museum of Natural History 

 (where all the regular meetings were held), 

 who deserve the gratitude of the delegates 

 for their untiring efforts to make the con- 

 gress a great success. Before the actual 

 commencement of the congress, the Due de 

 Loubat gave a dinner on Sunday for the 

 delegates then in the city from foreign 

 lands. Throughout the week lunch was 

 served in the museum at one o'clock, and 

 the hour between one and two p.m. was 

 always enjoyed by the delegates in personal 

 intercourse and private discussion. 



For the most part, the general sessions 

 of the congress took place from 10 :30 a.m. 

 to 1 P.M., and from 2 to 5 p.m.
