REPORTS OF AUDITING AND PHOTOGRAPH COMMITTEES 545 



Vice-President S. F. Emmons assumed the chair, and the administra- 

 tive business of the day was taken up. The Secretary stated that the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science had decided to 

 not hold a summer meeting in 1903. This produces a condition not 

 anticipated nor provided for in the rules of the Society. The Council 

 therefore recommended that the Society give the Council power to make 

 decision as to the summer meeting. The Society adopted the recom- 

 mendation.
