Prof. Rothrock also presented to the Committee an application made to 
him by the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, asking for the use 
of part of the negatives in his possession, belonging to the Society, for the 
purpose of having enlarged positives made from them, to be exhibited at 
the Paris Exposition next year. Prof. Rothrock stated that the Chief of
