(At the suggestion of Mr. Butler a standing vote was taken, whicn re- 

 sulted unanimously in favor of resuming the Spring meetings.) 



Mr. Butler : Mr. Chairman. We have a telegram of greeting from

Mr. Butler : In reference to the letter from Dr. Harvey Wiley read

 Coulter, Harvey W. Wiley and C. H. Eigenmann be appointed to see that 

 the suggestions in Dr. Wiley's letter in regard to obtaining some one to

 better than a larger committee. 



(Amendment put and carried; motion as amended carried.) 



Mr. Butler : I move that the Treasurer and Secretary be directed 

 to notify all delinquent members that the constitutional rules against such 

 will be enforced, by order of the Academy. 



(Seconded and carried.)

 the expense of editing the Proceedings will probably be larger next year,

 penses of this year and the year coming. 



(Seconded and carried.) 



Mr. J. S. Wright : In view of the fact that the Academy has received 

 many favors from the Claypool Hotel in giving us this room without 

 charge, and a room for the section meetings, and other courtesies, I move
