Abstract
The membership of the Committee was increased in 1938 by the addition of E. W. Lane. The present membership is as follows: Harry F. Blaney, N. W. Cummings, Robert Follansbee, J. A. Folse, S. T. Harding, Robert E. Horton, Ivan E. Houk, E. W. Lane, R. E. Kennedy, G. F. McEwen, Carl Rohwer, C. M. Saville, Thorndike Saville. The Committee's recommendations for a program of investigations in evaporation from water‐surfaces were the basis of the Committee's report in April 1938. This report recommended that such work should be undertaken adjacent to some large water‐area for which the evaporation could be measured. No means of financing such a program has been found. In July 1938 a Class A Weather Bureau pan and a screened pan were installed adjacent to Lake Elsinore in Southern California. This represents a start toward the type of study recommended.
