i6 Proceedings of the Ohio State Academy of Science 



A committee consisting of the incoming President, Secre- 

 tary and Treasurer was appointed to confer with the Indiana 

 Academy of Science concerning the advisabihty of holding joint 

 meetings periodically, at some locality near the border line of the 

 two states. The opinion was expressed that such meetings would 

 prove of much interest and that it would be an excellent thing 

 for members of the two academies to meet at intervals at least 

 as often as three years. 



An invitation was extended by the incoming President of 

 the Society to meet at Granville in November, 1908. While no 

 definite action was taken by the executive committee, the opinion 

 was generally expressed that the invitation would be accepted. 



At the close of the business session, the Society proceeded 

 with the reading of papers. 



At 1 1 :45 A. M. the Academy was declared formally ad- 

 journed.
