 then presented its report to the effect that the committee had examined 

 the Treasurer's accounts and had found them properly cast and correctly 

 vouched. On motion, the report was adopted.^ 



The Secretary then read the following resolution, which had been ap- 

 proved by Council at a meeting on Tuesday, for recommendation to the 

 Society : 



RESOLUTION CONCERNING CANADIAN FORESTRY SCHOOL 



It is the sense of the Council and Fellows (both Canadian and Ameri- 

 can) of the Geological Society of America, in session assembled December 

 28, 1910, that the proposal of the friends and compatriots of their lamented 

 member and Fellow, the late Monseigneur Laflamme, to the effect that 

 the School of Forestry recently established in and by the province of 

 Quebec and at the University of Laval, which was the platform of his long 

 and influential career in science, should bear his name as a tribute to his 

 efficiency and devotion, is befitting and felicitous, and it is the further 

 sense of this Council and Fellowship that this formal expression may 

 appropriately be transmitted by the Secretary to the premier of the prov- 

 ince of Quebec and the rector of Laval University. 



On motion, this resolution was unanimously adopted. 



REPORT OF DELEGATES TO THE INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS 



James F. Kemp then presented an oral report, briefly summarizing
