Article XIX. Election of Delegates 



Delegates and representatives on the councils of the New 

 York Academy of Sciences and the American Association for 

 the Advancement of Science, and other organizations with 

 which the Club shall become affiliated, shall be elected at the 

 Annual Meeting in January^ the numbers of such delegates 

 and representatives to be elected, depending on the quota 

 regulations of such organizations. 



Pursuant to the action of the Club at the meeting of 

 February 29, regarding Article XVIII of the Constitution re- 

 lating to the time of meetings, this article was now amended 

 by unanimous vote by omitting the part relating to the regular 

 meetings. The article so amended reads therefore as follows: 



Article XVIII. Annual Meeting 

 The first regular meeting in January shall be the Annual 

 Meeting. Nine members shall constitute a quorum for the 

 transaction of business. 



Also, in accordance with the action of the Club at the meet- 

 ing of February 29, the following new By-Law was unanimously 

 passed, to be known as III, the succeeding By-Laws to be 

 renumbered in regular sequence as necessitated by this inser- 

 tion. 



By-Law III. Meetings 



Unless otherwise determined by the Club, the regular meet- 

 ings shall be held on the first Tuesday and the third Wednesday 

 of each month from October to May, inclusive, except the third 

 Wednesday of December, at such time and place as the Club 

 may direct. Nine members shall constitute a quorum for the 

 transaction of business. The President may call special meet- 

 ings upon his own motion. 



The President announced his appointment of Mr. Raymond 

 H. Torrey to represent the Club on the Coordinating Council 

 of Nature Activities. 



Mr. Torrey reported for the Committee on the establish- 

 ment of a permanent field headquarters, that he had made 

 arrangements for two week-end outings, namely June 23-24, 

 and September 22-23 at the Inkowa Club Hotel at Greenwood 

 Lake, New York. This had been arranged as an experiment 

 to see whether this location might be looked upon as favorable 

 for permanent field headquarters. 



The scientific program consisted of a talk by Mr. Torrey, 

 entitled, "Observations on Highland Plants."
