Narbeth, for the Association to liold it^s Annual General Meeting in 1921 

 at that city, and he propased that the invitation be accepted. 

 This was agreed to unanimously. 



President, 1922. — Dr. I. B. Pole Evans proposed that Dr. A. AV. 

 Rogers, M.A., F.R.S., be asked to accept the Presidency of the Associa- 

 tion for the year 1922. This was agreed to unanimously, and Dr. Rogers 

 accepted. 



Proposed Increase of Annual Subscription. — In the absence of 

 Prof. C E. Moss, and for the purpose of discussion, Prof. J. A. \Vilkinson 

 proposed that the meeting now proceed to consider the advisability of 

 increasing the annual subscription to 30s. 



Mr. E. J. Laschinger seconded the proposal. 



Prof. H. B. Fantham emphasised the need of more funds for the 

 publication of the Journal on account of tlie increased cost of materials 

 and labour. The Journal during the coming vear would cost at least 

 £1,000, probably £1,200. 



Mr. B. M. Narbeth strongly opposed any increase in the annual 

 subscription on the grou'id that it would restrict the activities of the 

 Asociation by a reduction in the number of Members. He was of the 

 opinion tliat tlie additional money required to meet the cost of the 

 Journal could be raised by other means. 



Dr. A. W. Rogers hoped that the Journal, v.liich served a very 

 useful purpose in disseminating scientific knowledge, would not be 

 greatly reduced or curtailed on account of the lack of funds. 



The question of printing advertisements with the Journal was 

 mentioned as a possible source of revenue, but it seemed to ))e considered 

 by some Members that little profit would accrue after paying commission 

 and printing, unless a large numljer of advertisements could be obtained. 



The possibility of increasing the annual subscription to 25s. was 

 also discussed. 



Dr. A. J. Orenstein proposed that, in view of the increased cost of 

 the Journal, the matter be referred to the new Council for consideration 

 and definite action, if tliis were constitutional. 



Mr. H. E. Vv'^cod seconded this motion, which was carried. 



In the course of the discussion, Miss Steedman suggested that the 

 Government be approached for an increased grant. Mr. F. Eyles 

 suggested that the Rhodesia n Government be also approached for a 

 grant towards the expense of pu1)li.shing the Journal. Mrs. Thoday 

 recommended that agriculturalists and machinery merchants be 

 approached for donations for this purpose. 



The meeting agreed that these recommendations be referred to the 

 Council. 



Wireless Telegraphy. — Mi-. H. E. Wood sul)mitted the following 

 motion : — 



" That the Government be requested to erect forthwith a wireless 

 telegraph station of sufficient power to receive and transmit 

 messages to Europe and North America, and that copies of this 

 resolution be sent to the Prime Minister, the Minister for 

 Industries and the Daily Press." 



This was agreed to unanimously. 



Votes of Thanks. — On the motion of Mr. C. W. Mally, it was 

 unanimorsly resolved that the liearty thanks of the Association should 

 be accorded to : — 



(1) The Administrator and Ladv Chr.Dlin for their kindly interest 

 in the Association and for the Garden Party given in honour of its 

 Members.

 Bulawavo for their cordial welcome to the Association, for the evening
