The report of the comniiittee on amendments to the Constitution was read and laid upon the table.

The report of Committee on Marking Historic Spots was read and adopted. The report is as follows : Glens Falls, N. Y., Jan. 18, 1906. To the Trustees of the Nezv York State Historical Association, Gentlemen: -- I beg to report progress in regard to t?he work of the committee on marking Historic Spots. A good number of persons have made corutributions ranging from five to fifty dol'lars each. A marker has been erected at Half-Way Brook and another planned for at Bloody Pond. The tablet at Half-Way Brook was made under the direction of W. J. Scales, who is also to prepare the design for the one at Bloody Pond. The marker at Half- Way Brook is a large boulder resting upon another large boulder nearly buried in the ground. The boulders are large and very hard, and the cost of cutting them to fit was unexpectedly great.
