REPORT OF SECTION IV. 
Section IV begs to report that four well attended sessions have been 
held, the average number of members present being fourteen. 
Twenty-six papers in all were presented, of these a number were 
read in full, whilst the others were read in abstract or by title. 
The question of enlarged membership referred to Section IV, by 
the Council, for an expression of its views, has been discussed, and 
by a vote of ? to 4 the section declares in favour of increasing the 
membership of each section by ten, the increase to be distributed over

other sections had been expressed in the general meeting.
