1934
<p><span>The by‐laws adopted at the meeting of the Section of Hydrology in </span>1933<span> provided that the membership of research committees should be reconstituted every three years. There have, accordingly, been some changes in the membership of the </span>Committee<span> on </span>Underground<span>‐</span>Water<span>. Certain members have retired because of pressure of other duties or because they are no longer actively engaged in ground‐</span>water<span> work. Dr. O. E. Meinzer, who retired as Chairman of the Section of Hydrology, has agreed to serve on the </span>Committee<span>, and probably two or three other men will be appointed to make contact with special phases of the field covered by the </span>Committee<span>. It is with regret that the Chairman reports the loss to the </span>Committee<span> by the death of A. F. Melcher, who had contributed much to the science of ground‐</span>water<span> hydrology by his studies on permeability and absorption of sedimentary formations for </span>water<span>, oil, and gas. ©19</span>34</p>
