Respectfully submitted,

WILLARD G. BIXBY,
Secretary-Treasurer.

President Reed: You have heard the report. What is your pleasure? I believe that is usually referred to an auditing committee. C. A. Reed was chairman of that committee.

Mr. Bixby: Mr. Reed spoke to me about this yesterday. He said he would be glad to audit it, but there has not been time to give it to him. It was ready for him this morning, but he was busy on other things.

President Reed: What is the next thing on the program, Mr. Secretary?

Mr. Bixby: The reports of committees. I do not know how much report the standing committees have.

President Reed: There is the executive committee, the finance committee, the hybrids committee—maybe Dr. Morris has something on that.

Dr. Morris: No, I have no report to make on that. I shall talk on the subject this afternoon or in the course of my paper incidentally. I didn't see any occasion for action in that direction since the last meeting, so I have not acted except incidentally in the course of my work.

President Reed: The committee on nomenclature—of course they wouldn't have any report until after this meeting.

Mr. Bixby: Who is on that committee?—C. A. Reed, Dr. Morris, and J. F. Jones. Two members of the committee are here. There is one matter which perhaps I better bring up to the committee first,—one matter I think they should take some action on.
