Read by the Secretary in the absence of Dr. Blumer: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SCIENTIFIC WORK. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the House of Delegates: In the five years that this committee has been in existence certain methods have been evolved which have been handed down by the permanent member of the committee, the Secretary, so that the preparation of a programme, while involving some correspondence and a few meetings, is not exceedingly onerous. In preparing the programme which we present this year we have kept in mind certain principles which we deem essential. The most important of these is limitation of the number of papers presented, so that there is ample time for presentation and discussion. Proper grouping of the papers is also, we believe, of great value, as it enables those who cannot be present at all sessions to choose those which they are most interested in. Representation on the programme of various sections of the State is also desirable, and this also we have endeavored to secure, though our success in this direction has been somewhat limited by our inability to always secure papers that we asked for from a given section. The programme is as follows: PROGRAMME. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 25, 1910, 2. P. M.

(9) Report of the Committee on Honorary Members and Degrees, by Dr. Edmund P. Douglass (Groton).

Mr. President and Gentlemen of the House of Delegates: The Committee on Honorary Members and Degrees beg leave to report that no names have been presented to them for honorary memberships or degrees, and that your committee has no business to bring before your honorable body at this session. Respectfully submitted, E. P. DOUGLASS. (10) Report of the Committee of Arrangements, by Dr. Otto G. Ramsay (New Haven). Read by the Secretary in the absence of Dr. Ramsay: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the House of Delegates: The Committee of Arrangements have to report that they have planned to entertain the members of the State Society at a smoker on Wednesday evening at 8.30 P. M., at the rooms of the New Haven Medical Society in the Young Men's Christian Association. On Thursday evening the annual dinner of the Society will be held at the New Haven Lawn Club. The dinner will be $2.50 a plate, and tickets may be obtained from the Secretary or from any member of the Committee of Arrangements. At this time the committee wish to call attention to the slowness of response from the members of the Society as to their expectation of attending the annual dinner. This makes it very difficult for the committee to make any definite arrangements as to the number of diners, and for the benefit of future committees they felt that it might be well to call this apparent carelessness to the attention of the members that they may respond earlier in the future. Respectfully submitted, OTTO G. RAMSAY, RAYNHAM TOWNSHEND.

In accordance with this act, a copy of which is hereby appended, the Governor has already appointed (on August 12, 1909) as a committee to select a proper site, Dr. Wm. L.
