not at all recognized Il do not mean our leglsia-
tive rccognition,) rs members OF the revived soci-
cty, as those of the Institute were, but passed
over in silence without word OF explanation that

the old members we're present at the re-establish'
meut OF the society at Columbia, but II so, it is
matter of surprise to others that they Submitted
