 It was decided to meet as usual with the 

 Congress of American Physicians and Sur- 

 geons this spring. The Association voted 

 that members desiring to subscribe for the 

 Journal of Anatomy and Physiology could do 

 so through its Secretary at net cost of $5.30; 

 also that the titles of papers to be read at

 stracts of about 150 words each. Officers 

 for the ensuing term were elected : — Dr.

 dent ; Dr. D. S. Lamb, Washington, Secre- 

 tary and Treasurer ; Dr. C. S. Minot, of

 tee in place of Dr. Gerrish, retired. 



In the absence of Drs. Huntington and 

 Spitzka, the Committee on Anatomical No- 

 menclature (Drs. Gerrish, Wilder and Fer- 

 ris) reported progress and asked the Associ- 

 ation to consider, with a view to decisive 

 action at the next session, the following 

 names for constituents of the peripheral 

 nervous system. Where a single term is 

 given it is the one adopted by the B. N. A., 

 and also preferred unanimously by the 

 Committee. Where two terms are used the 

 first is the one in the B. N. A., but this 

 does not imply that it is preferred by the 

 Committee.
