| Abstract | Signed in type by Samuel George Morton, chairman of the local committee, and Walter R. Johnson, secretary. | ||
| Note | Morton and Johnson's reason for referring to their society as the American Association for the Promotion of Science is not entirely clear, for Goodman #3 clearly points out that the American Association of Geologists and Naturalists was resolved into the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the name which the organization has clearly taken by 1849 (see Goodman #4). One possible explanation for the discrepancy might be that both names were proposed at the September 1847 meeting and neither clearly adopted. Alternately, the organization might have been at first known by the name used by Morton above and later change to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (in which case Goodman #3 would postdate this document). | ||
