 Report of Section IV. 



Section IV. begs to report that it has held in all five most interest- 

 ing sessions, at which eighteen papers were read, either in extenso, in 

 part, or by title. The number of papers presented this year exceeds in 

 number that of the three preceding meetings held en 1902, 3 and 4 at 

 Toronto, Ottawa and St. John, N.B., respectively. 



The following resolutions were made and adopted: — 



Moved by Dr. Burgess, seconded by Prof. Macoun, that, " In the 

 opinion of this section, an erratum should be placed in the forthcoming 

 volume of Transactions to the effect that, inadvertently, Mr. Watson 

 in his paper in the last volume of Transactions attributed a list of 

 fungi to Mr. Bain that should have been credited to Mr. McSwain." 



Moved by Dr. Ami, seconded by Dr. Burgess, that " This section 

 recommends that the precise date of issue of separates of papers pub- 

 lished by the Eoyal Society of Canada be placed on each paper." 



Moved by Dr. Burgess, seconded by Prof. Macoun, that, " In the 

 opinion of Section IV., the Society as a whole should take steps toward 

 a fitting celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Eoyal Society 

 of Canada, and that the founder of the Society, the Duke of Argyll, be 

 invited to visit Canada and take part in said celebration, the details 

 of the celebration to be decided by a committee appointed by the general 

 assembly." 



Moved by Dr. Burgess, seconded by Dr. Saunders, that " In event 

 of any papers being referred to him for immediate publication, the 

 secretary of this section be instructed to consult with or refer said 

 papers to the officers of his section for their opinion of the advisability 

 of such procedure." 



Moved by Prof. Prince, seconded by Dr. Fletcher, " That the 

 ihanks of the section are due, and are hereby tendered, to Mr. Ford, 

 late of the Eoyal Navy, for the interesting lecture, illustrated by re- 

 markably good stereopticon views, which he was good enough to deliver 

 before the Eoyal Society under the auspices of this section, and also 

 to Mr. O'Brien, who kindly gave up his holiday on the 24th of May 

 to operate the lantern used to illustrate this lecture."
