XXXVIII THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



The question of the amendment of clause 8 of the By-laws pro- 

 posed by Dr. Klotz and referred to the Section was considered and it 

 was decided to recommend to the Society that no change be made 

 in this By-law. It was also decided that no other date for holding 

 the Annual Meeting than the one now used would be suitable for the 

 Fellows of this Section. 



The Section recommended to the Society that the Government 

 be asked to provide for the purchase of the working model of the 

 great Canadian telescope made by Warren & Swasey Co. for the 

 San Francisco Exhibition, and that this model be placed on view 

 at Ottawa. 



A Committee was appointed by the Section to devise some plan 

 of mathematically investigating the enormous mass of material accu- 

 mulated in meteorological, magnetic, and other observations, in such 

 a way as to, if possible, make this material of definite practical value. 



It was decided by the Section that wherever practicable papers 

 should be printed and distributed to the Fellows of the Section in 

 advance of the meeting to facilitate and render more valuable the 

 discussion of the work. It was further unanimously decided that in 

 no case will a paper be accepted for inclusion in the printed programme 

 unless it be accompanied by a full and suitable abstract of its char- 

 acter.
