city by carriage and to our historic missions has been arranged by the courtesy of the Bexar County Medical Association. It will be necessary for you to be ready to start on time.

For to-morrow evening nothing special has been arranged, but there is a theatrical performance at the Grand. E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe will appear in Shakespearean productions, and undoubtedly a large number will avail themselves of the opportunity to be present.

Thursday night at 8.30 o'clock, in Turner Hall, the Business Men's Club of this city extends a cordial invitation to friends and members to be present at the Mexican banquet. This is a warm number in this climate. (Laughter.)

On Friday morning a drive and luncheon is tendered to the ladies of the visiting Association by Mrs. Dr. Frank Paschal, and carriages will call at the Menger at that time. On Friday night at 10.25 the train leaves for the Mexican trip. Tickets are good for thirty days. You will arrive in Mexico City at 10.30 o'clock Sunday morning, in time to see the bull fight, which is the national amusement of Mexico. This will be a delightful trip. You are permitted to stop off at Monterey or at any place on the route. If those who wish to go will give me your names, I will see that sleeper accommodations are reserved. (Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT.-Not having the necessary books and papers before it at last night's meeting, the Council was unable to prepare its report, which will, therefore, be presented to-morrow. Dr. Hurd has also asked that the report of the editors of the American Journal of Insanity be deferred until that time.

My next duty is the appointment of the Nominating Committee. As that committee I will appoint:

Dr. Chas. W. Pilgrim, of New York.

Dr. Wm. F. Drewry, of Virginia.

Dr. M. J. White, of Wisconsin.

There will now be a short recess for the registration of members and friends, after which we will take up the memorial notices of deceased members.

After the registration the Association was again called to order by the President.

THE PRESIDENT. For many years I have held that the memorial notices of deceased members should be read at the beginning of the meetings, as the least we can do to show our regard for our departed brethren. To defer them to the close of the sessions is to show very scant respect to those snatched from our ranks, and very scant courtesy to the writers of the articles. Accordingly, it has been arranged to have the obituaries take precedence of everything else.

Dr. Robert B. Lamb then read an obituary of the late Dr. Henry E. Allison.

THE PRESIDENT.-Personally I had known Dr. Allison a great many years, and while I sometimes differed from him in his conclusions, I certainly have never known a man I thought more thoroughly honest in all that he said and all that he did.

A memorial notice of Dr. James F. Ferguson, prepared by Dr. William E. Dold, was read by Dr. A. W. Hurd.

A memorial notice of Dr. F. Savary Pearce, prepared by Dr. George Stockton, was read by the Secretary.

A memorial notice of Dr. Merrick Bemis, prepared by Dr. Ernest V. Scribner, was read by Dr. H. L. Palmer.

A memorial notice of Dr. George F. Keene, prepared by Dr. Henry A. Jones, was read by Dr. H. W. Miller.

THE PRESIDENT.-As there is still some time left us before luncheon, I will call upon Dr. Hattie to read Dr. Kemp's paper.

Dr. Hattie then read a paper written by Dr. Robert C. Kemp, of New York City, "Some Observations on the Relations of the Gastro-Intestinal Tract to Nervous and Mental Diseases."

The paper was discussed by Dr. Charles G. Hill.

On motion, a vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Kemp for his valuable and interesting paper.

A recess was then taken until 2.30 p. m.
