On Tuesday evening a popular lecture was delivered by Prof. J. D. Parker, 

 U. S. A., upon "Circular Storms," which was very well received by a fair audi* 

 ence. 



The discussions that followed the reading of many of these reports and pa- 

 pers were not the least interesting part of the proceedings, and testified at the 

 same time to their value. 



The hospitality of the Lawrence members was unbounded, and many of 

 the students of the University and residents in the city participated in the ses- 

 sions and lectures. 



Manhattan was selected as the place for the next annual meeting. 



All friends of science will be glad to learn that the Kansas Academy is 

 steadily growing in influence and usefulness, and is likely to become an import- 

 ant factor in the future development of this great State.
