hundred, be cut up for the purpose of providing separates. 
3. It is recommiended that an Editorial Committee be established, 
to consist of one member for each science represented in the Academy, 
these members to bei nominated by the Nominating Committee at each 
annual meeting, and each member having it as his especial duty to pass 
on, and edit all papers submitted for publication in the Science he repre- 
sents. 
4. Your committee recommends that beginning with the present fiscal 
year, the Treasurer be paid an honorarium of $25 per annum. 
5. It is recommended that in conformity with the suggestion of the 
Secretary, the Constitution be amended, according to the regulations 
governing constitutional amendments, to omit the classes of Correspond- 
ing Fellow and Corresponding Associate and to provide that membership
