The President announced that due to a tied vote during the 

 last election for a vacancy on the council, another ballot was neces- 

 sary. The council had nominated R. P. Wodehouse, James Murphy 

 and Clyde Chandler. Ballots were distributed and collected for 

 counting. 



The President announced that the appointment of the standing 

 committee for 1941 had been approved by the council and that the 

 lists of committee members would appear in Torreya. He added 

 that the chairman of the entertainment committee would accept 

 donations for the entertainment fund. 



Dr. Fred Seaver of the New York Botanical Garden gave a 

 lecture in the scientific part of the program on "A Mycologist in 

 Bermuda." Dr. Seaver stated that the Kodachrome pictures which 

 he showed were his first attempts with that film; but he had a 

 remarkably beautiful series of scenes of Bermuda and life on Ber- 

 muda. The most conspicuous blossoms were the Bouganvillea and 

 the Hibiscus. Dr. Seaver also had photographs of the endemic 

 Sahal Bermudiana and Juniperus Bermudiana. 



Because the votes cast had resulted in a tie between Mr. Murphy 

 and Dr. Chandler, a third set of ballots was distributed. On the 

 third ballot Dr. Chandler was declared elected to the vacancy on 

 the council. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 P.M. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



John W. Thomson, Jr.
