an informal supper, followed by toasts to wiiich Mr. W ,J Mc- 
Gee, Profs. W. H. Niles and I. C. Kussell, and Maj. Jed. Hotch- 
kiss responded. The toast-iuaster, as at the society's former 
meetings, was Prof. B. K. Emerson, who will be gratefully and 
laughingly remembered by all present on this and other such 
occasions, for his felicitous manner of stirring up ripples and 
waves of merriment where usually there are only calm reflec- 
tion, profound investigation, and earnest discussion. 
The officers elect for the year 1895 are: Prof. N. S. Shaler, 
president ; Prof. Joseph Le Conte, first vice president ; Prof. 
C. H. Hitchcock, second vice president; Prof. H. L. Fairchild, 
secretary; Prof. I. C. White, treasurer; J. Stanlej^-Brown, ed- 
itor; R. W. Ells and C. R. Van Hise, members of the council. 
Five new fellows were elected. With this addition, the total 
membership is 234. 
It is announced, in the report of the council, that the soci- 
ety's library is to be deposited in the Case Library at Cleve- 
land, Ohio, with facilities for loans to fellows during periods 
not exceeding two months. 
The next meeting of the society will be in connection with 
that of the American Association, at San Francisco, Cal., in 
August; but the place of the next winter meeting is not yet 
determined.
