Under this arrangement the Editor of the Geological Society of 

 America will attend to the printing of such papers. The Council also 

 voted to accept not more than $400 from the Geological Society of 

 America to be used in publishing strictly paleontologic papers in the 

 Bulletin of that Society. This sum of money will not print all of the 

 papers offered for publication during 1910, and in the future will prob- 

 ably be less adequate, but many of the members of the Paleontological 

 Society have other outlets for publication. 



The Council further agreed to publish a list of its entire membership 

 as memhei's, making no distinction between Fellows and members. 



By a later arrangement Prof. J. McKeen Cattell kindly consented to 

 publish the conference papers of the first annual meeting in the Popular 

 Science Monthly. These papers appeared from time to time throughout 

 the 3^ear in the order of their presentation at Boston, and at the close of 

 the year were bound together in a single volume and copies sent to the 

 members. 



In April the Council voted an allowance of $50 annually to the Secre- 

 tary of the Paleontological Society to help pay the expenses connected 

 with his office, this allowance to be paid by the Treasurer at or toward 

 the close of each year on presentation of the bill for services. 



Early in the same month the President announced to the Council that 

 the American Society of Vertebrate Paleontologists would vote to amal- 

 gamate with the Paleontological Society. In July official notice was 

 received from President Merriam of the former Society that in their 

 second and final vote their members had agreed "for union and to give 

 up their constitution • and identify themselves with the Paleontological 

 Society." Later in the year (November 1, 1910) notice was received 

 that the above vote had been acted upon, dues returned to the members, 

 and the remaining money turned over to the Treasurer of the Paleonto- 

 logical Society. Of the 45 members of the American Society of Verte- 

 brate Paleontologists, 21 were already members of the Paleontological 

 Societ}^, so it only remained for the other 24 to signify their willingness 

 to join our Society. Most of these have accepted, and the rolls at present 

 contain 126 names.
