﻿Proceedings of the Society.

At the conclusion of the paper, which was illustrated by a large draw- 

 ing of the Calendar Stone, remarks were made by various members of the 

 Society. 



Mr. George P. Handy was elected a regular member. 



Messrs. Samuel R. Singer, George B. Twitchell and Rev. Raphael Ben- 

 jamin were proposed for regular membership. 



The following resolution, recommended by the Executive Board, was 

 submitted to the consideration of the Society: 



"Resolved, That the Amateur Photographic Club be granted the use of 

 the meeting room of the Society one evening each month, this permission 

 to be subject to the approval of the Society at large." 



Dr. Dun, on behalf of the the club, stated that it desired some place in 

 the city where it could hold monthly meetings; that it was able and will- 

 ing to pay for gas or fuel consumed, and that the meeting would be open 

 to all members of the Society. 



Dr. Langdon stated that if the grant was made, it would open the way 

 for any or all clubs or associations to make similar applications, and en- 

 title them to expect similar privileges. He thought, too, that the privi- 

 lege should not be granted for an indefinite period of time. 



Dr. Dun then amended the resolution to read that the room be granted 

 to the club "one evening each month for a period of six months." 



After some further discussion, the resolution, as amended, was carried. 



The Custodian called attention to a number of exchanges which were on 

 the table. Among them was a set of the publications of the Geological 

 Survey of Canada, a valuable addition to the library; also a set of plants and 

 sections of woods from the West Indies, and forty-one species of fossils 

 from the Cincinnati and Trenton groups.
