FiPTBBNTH Meeting — May 27, 1850. 

 J. B. YATES, Esq., in the Chair. 



A communication was made from the Council that they 

 recommend the Society respectfully to represent to the Mayor 

 and Town Council that it is expedient to invite the British 

 Association to meet at Liverpool in 1851, or as soon there- 

 after as convenient ; and it was suggested that an invitation 

 should emanate from the Town Council, independently of 

 that from the Society. It was also recommended, that the 

 other scientific Societies in town should be asked to co-operate. 

 Confirmed.
