Sir Sandford Fleming, seconded by Dr. George Stewart.) 
3. That the election of the Rev. Dr. Bryce, of Winnipeg, as recom- 
mended by Section IL., be ratified, and that Rule VI. be suspended in 
his case. (On motion of Dr. Stewart, seconded by Mr. W. W. Campbell.) 
4. That the Society approves of recommendation of Section TE 
that Sir S. Fleming’s paper on the Postal Cable Service be forwarded 
to the Government of Canada and the Imperial authorities, with the 
hope that every effort will be made by them to carry the scheme to a 
successful conclusion. (On motion of Dr. Parkin, seconded by Dr. 
Stewart.) 
9. That the Honorary Secretary be empowered to take steps to

the present time, and keep them in a suitable portfolio. (On motion of 
Dr. Girdwood, seconded by Dr. R. Bell.) 
6. That the Royal Society has learned with great satisfaction that 
the Government and Parliament of Canada have at last determined to 
proceed with the erection of a National Museum in the city of Ottawa, 
and that adequate provision will be made therein for the preservation of 
geological and other natural collections, and probably also for a gallery 
of Art. As these objects have been steadily urged on the attention of 
the Government and the country by the Royal Society ever since its 
establishment, its members now deem it expedient to testify their grati- 
fication at the realization of their long cherished hopes. (On motion 
of Sir S. Fleming, seconded by Dr. Parkin.) 
There being no further business before the meeting, the Presi-
