 question of the best method of effecting this desirable object is referred to 

 the earnest attention of the scientific and other sections. All recommen-

 such allowances of money as the funds available at the time may permit.

 communicate at once with the Honorary President, His Excellency the 

 Governor-General, and request him to send an appropriate telegraphic
