On the morning of September 19 a 

 registration office will be located in the 

 Hall of Congresses on the Exposition 

 grounds in St. Louis. On Saturday, 

 September 24, the records will be trans- 

 ferred to Hubbard Memorial Hall, 

 Washington, where the office will be 

 retained and whither all correspondence 

 should be directed until the final clos- 

 ing of the affairs of the Eighth Inter- 

 national Geographic Congress. 



REGISTRATION 



Delegates, members, associates, and 

 persons desiring to become members 

 are requested to register on the ear- 

 liest possible date at the local head- 

 quarters in the city in which they first 

 attend the Congress. Those who par- 

 ticipate in the Washington sessions are 

 especially desired promptly to record 

 their names and local addresses in order 

 to facilitate the preparation of lists of 

 membership and the delivery of mail. 

 Immediately on registering, members of 

 the Congress will receive the official 

 badge entitling them to the privileges 

 of the Congress and to the courtesies 

 extended to members by local commit- 

 tees. 



On September 7 will be issued a list 

 of all members registered to that date. 

 Those marked + are present at the 

 Congress, and their local addresses will 

 be given. To facilitate the identifi- 

 cation of members each one registered 

 will be furnished a small button num- 

 bered to correspond with his member- 

 ship ticket. To identify a member it 

 is only necessary to look in the list at 

 the name opposite the number on his 

 button. 



An alphabetic list will also be given, 

 with the number of the ticket opposite 

 each name, in order that members may 

 ascertain if a particular person is a 

 member of the Congress or is in attend- 

 ance upon its sessions. 



Members and delegates of foreign 

 geographic societies are requested to see 



that their respective societies are regis- 

 tered and the cards for permanent record 

 filled out.
