Dr. Meigs read to the Society a paper upon the Marsupial 

 Gestation of Didelphis Virginiana, which was referred to a 

 Committee, consisting of Drs. Hays, Bache, and Condie. 



The Committee on the Hall made a report upon the subject 

 of the renting of the rooms now occupied by the Athenaeum, 

 referred to them on the 5th February, 1847. 



The same Committee reported that the memorial to the Le- 

 gislature, authorized at the last meeting of the Society, had 

 been prepared, and placed in the hands of Mr. S. W. Roberts, 

 by whom it had been presented to the Legislature, and the 

 desired permission obtained. 



Whereupon it was ordered that the thanks of the Society be 

 returned to Mr. S. W. Roberts for his exertions in behalf of 

 the Society, and that the Treasurer be authorized to repay to 

 Mr. Roberts the sum expended by him while engaged in the 

 business of the Society. 



The Act of the Legislature referred to in the report of the 

 Committee on the Hall was then read, and ordered to be en- 

 tered at large upon the minutes of the Society.
