The Ohio Naturalist. 
[Vol. VIII, No. 4, 
D. C. Mote and K. H. Chew were proposed for membership, 
and the names proposed at the previous meeting and mentioned 
in the minutes, were elected to membership, after which the club 
adjourned. 
Arthur H. McCray, Secretary. 
Orton Hall, Monday, Dec. 2, 1907. 
On the above named date the Biological Club met in its usual 
place and was called to order by the President. The minutes of 
the previous meeting were read and, after corrections were made, 
were approved. 
Reports from the meeting of the Ohio Academy of Science 
held at Oxford, Ohio, were called for. Professors Hine, Osborn 
and Hubbard gave brief reports, and Mr. Morgulis read two of 
his own papers presented at the meeting. 
The paper of the evening was presented by Mr. C. F. Jackson 
on “Some Modern Conceptions of Evolution as applied to the 
Aphididae.” First, the definition and position of the family 
were taken up, followed by notes on life history. This proved 
most interesting because of the great numbers of these insects 
which are produced without fertilization. 
After the completion of the program, the names proposed at 
the previous meeting were elected to membership. The follow¬ 
ing new names were proposed for membership: V. L. Wilder- 
muth, T. H. Parks, R. E. Hundertmark, H. Barber, E. J. 
Hoddy, M. Denny, M. E. Corotis, B. Anspon. The Club then 
adjourned to meet in four weeks. 
Arthur H. McCray, Secretary. 
Orton Hall, Monday, Jan. 6, 1908. 
On the above named date the Biological Club met in its usual 
place, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and 
approved. On account of the Secretary asking for an expression 
from the Club as to whether the minutes should include a brief 
review of papers presented at the meetings, Prof. Hine made a 
motion, which was carried, that the minutes include reports of 
those papers not published in the Naturalist. 
The paper of the evening was presented by Mr. Sergius 
Morgulis on “Regeneration: Facts and Reflections.” Regen¬ 
eration may be regarded as one of the fundamental properties of 
living matter. Nails, hairs, nerve fibers and nerve tissue may be 
replaced, while in lower organisms, as in salamanders, gills, jaws, 
eves, and limbs, can be regenerated.
