Professor Flint introduced an amendment to the constitution

annual meeting of the Academy shall be held at such time and 
place as the Council may designate.” 
The reading of papers was then taken up. Professor Kahl- 
enberg, who had not been able to be present on Tuesday, pre¬ 
sented his paper on the Theory of Osmosis. This paper deal¬ 
ing with a very important subject, was discussed at length by 
the President, Messrs. Wagner, Flint and others. Ho. 21 was 
discussed by the President and Professor Kahlenberg, both of 
whom expressed the opinion that the forces acting in this case 
might be akin to the forces discussed by Professor Kahlenberg. 
Professor Talbert’s papers evoked discussion by Messrs. Wag¬ 
ner and Marshall. Hos. 22, 27 and the memorial address for 
Professor T'imberlake were; omitted owing to the absence of the 
author. The address for Mr. Hastings was read by Professor 
Kahlenberg.
