1 Dr. Gates' interests and observations extended beyond the area of plant sciences. He was an ardent ornithologist and taught the subject as a student at the University of Illinois. For thirty-six years he kept an accurate record of birds seen in the yard about his home in Manhattan, Kansas, including also a record of what the bird was doing and what it ate. From his earliest association with the Biological Station he kept detailed meteorological records, as he did also at his home in Manhattan, plotting temperature and barometric pressure readings on graphs. In very recent years he learned Russian and Spanish in order to read scientific literature. He had earlier learned German, French, and Latin. He was a member of the Ecological Society of America and served as president in In addition, he was a member of the AAAS, the Botanical Society of America, the Society of Plant Taxonomists, and the State Academies of Illinois, Kansas, and Michigan. New Orleans, Louisiana Committee on Resolutions: April 23, 1955 W. G. Moore, A. J. Sharp, W. A. Eggler, Chairman WARDER CLYDE ALLEE The death of Dr. W. C. Allee also occurred in March, but at press time it had not been possible for the Committee on Resolutions to assemble all the information they needed for the necrology. We may expect a resolution of respect in the next issue of the BULLETIN. SUGGESTED REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS, ECOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA Constitution Article 1. NAME.
