Nathorst, of the Royal Natural History Museum, Stockholm, geologist, 

 Arctic explorer, ethnologist, and probably the most eminent student of 

 paleobotany. We have also suffered the loss of one member, Mr. John T. 

 Doneghy. One member has resigned during the year. Four new mem- 

 bers have just been elected and three additional nominations are awaiting 

 consideration at the present meeting. This year five of our members have 

 been elected to fellowship in the Geological Society of America. The 

 result of these various changes leaves a total number of members at the 

 end of 1921 as 212. 



Publications. — Eight papers published by the Society in the Bulletin 

 of the Geological Society of America, in addition to the Proceedings, have 

 been distributed to the members during the course of the year. With 

 favorable action of the Council, the Secretary has distributed to members 

 elected in recent years a considerable number of duplicate copies of papers 

 printed in the earlier years of the Society.
