urer expressed the opinion that a compulsory assessment would 

 be very difficult to collect. A motion was finally made that the 

 Club approve the resolution of the council and make a contribu- 

 tion from the treasury of $200 toward the publication of Biolog- 

 ical Abstracts. This was carried. It was voted that a committee 

 made up of the president, corresponding secretary and treas- 

 urer be delegated to take care of any business with Biological 

 Abstracts and keep the Club informed. 



A motion was made that in addition to the S200 contributed 

 outright by the Club the society make a voluntary assessment 

 of S2.00 on all regular members of the Club. After considerable 

 debate this was carried by a vote of 18 to 16. 



The ballots having been counted, Dr. Karling read the re- 

 sults of the election of officers for 1938. Their names are re- 

 corded on the inside of the front cover of Torreya. 



The recording secretary reported that the applications of 

 Mr. IMorris Cohen, American Textile Mills, 467 Broadway, 

 New York City, and Prof. Tr. Savulescu, Institutul de Cercetari 

 Agronomice al Romaniei, Casuta Postala 207, Bucharest, Rou- 

 mania, for membership, had been approved by the council, 

 and they were unanimously elected members of the Club. 



The meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
