16 PKOCEEDIXGS OV THE 



explored. But I agree that it is rather premature now to 

 decide about the publication of these researches. Let us 

 wait until the return of tlie Expedition and then make our 

 plans. We can do it much better then than now. 



The President then put the Resolution to the Meeting 

 and declared it to be carried unanimously. 



The President : Then the Resolution is carried on the 

 understanding that the exact mode of publication is deferred 

 for the present. After we know a little more about the 

 results of the Expedition, we shall be in a better position to 

 decide in what form to publish them. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant : I should like to thank you all very 

 much indeed for the kind way in which you have received 

 this proposal, and I hope that the Exploration will be in 

 every way worthy of the Union. 



At the suggestion of the Secretary a small Committee was 

 elected to deal with the funds and general arrangements of 

 the Expedition. 



Dr. Sclater and Mr. Meade-Waldo were chosen to co- 

 operate with Mr. Grant, and it was decided that Mr. C. E. 

 Fagan, of the Natural History Museum, who was already 

 acting as Treasurer, should l)e requested to continue in that 

 capacity. 



In reply to a question as to the total amount of money that 

 would be required to carry out the Expedition's uccessfully, 

 Mr. Grant said that he considered that £3000 would be 

 amply sufficient. 



The meeting then terminated, after a vote of thanks to 

 the Zoological Society for the use of their room. 



In the evening a Dinner was held at the Trocadero 

 Restaurant, Piccadilly Circus, Avhich was attended by 81 

 Members of the B. O, U. (see following List) and 24 guests.
