(b) As to whether the delegates sent to the Conference might be 

 authorised to act as local representatives of the British Association 

 in their respective districts. 



(c) In what respects the advantages derived by Corresponding 

 Societies from their connection with the British Association maybe 

 increased, or better understood ; as for example in regard to {a) 

 improved facilities for publication ; {b) help in obtaining lecturers 

 of recognised scientific standing. A small committee was appointed 

 to draft resolutions for consideration at the Tuesday session. 



(d) The proposal made to the Council by the Corresponding 

 Societies Committee, " That all Corresponding Societies, while 

 retaining the power to appoint any member of the British Associa- 

 tion as their Delegate, may instead (if they so choose), subscribe £1 

 to the British Association and have the right to send two Delegates 

 during the year in which the the subscription is received." 



" At the meeting on Tuesday, September 12th, the following reso- 

 lutions arising out of the discussions at the Thursday session of the 

 Conference, drafted and submitted by the Corresponding Societies' 

 Committee, were formally received. 



1. (a) To invite the scientific societies of Liverpool and district, 

 on the occasion of the British Association's visit in 1923, to consider 

 what further provision, if any, is desirable for co-operation between 

 them, as for example, for scientific research, for the discussion of 

 regional problems, and for the publication of results. 



(b) To invite the Delegates sent to the Conference by the Corre- 

 sponding Societies to render any assistance in their power in making 

 known, in their respective districts, the objects and methods of the 

 British Association, and to communicate to the Secretary of the 

 Association, the names and addresses of scientific workers and others, 

 to whom the preliminary programme of the next meeting should be 



sent. 



(c) To call the attention of the Council to the inadequacy, dis- 

 continuity, and occasional overlap of scientific bibliographies already 

 issued ; and to request the Council to consider what steps may be 

 taken, by the Association itself, or otherwise, to make more system- 

 atic provision for the bibliography of the departments of science 

 represented in the sections of the Association. 



(d) To request the Council to make such representations as may 

 seem desirable, to the principal Government Departments, as to the 

 assistance which may be obtained by them through the local 

 societies in scientific enquiries involving regional distributions.
