 committee to audit the Treasurer's accounts. 



NEW BUSINESS 



The following matters of business previously considered by the Council 

 were then placed before the Society for action: 



With the tragic death of Dr. Charles R. Eastman the Society lost its 

 representative on the Supervisory Board of the American Year Book. 

 On motion, .Dr. W. K. Gregory was elected by the members to fill this 

 vacancy. 



During the year the Council was requested by the management of 

 Botanical Abstracts to name two representatives on the permanent Board 

 of Control of that organization — one to serve for four years and the 

 second for two years. The Council nominated E. W. Berry for the four- 

 year term and F. H. Knowlton for the two-year period ; which action, on 

 motion and vote, was approved by the members.
