 J. Burpee, that the minutes of the annual meeting of last year, as 

 contained in the printed proceedings of last year in the hands of the 

 Fellows, be confirmed.? — Carried. 



The Annual Report of Council, printed copies of which had been 

 delivered to the Fellows, was then presented by the Honorary 

 Secretary. The Report was as follows : 



REPORT OF COUNCIL 

 FOR THE YEAR 1918-1919 



To the Fellows of The Royal Society of Canada — 



The Council have the honour to present the following report 

 on the work of the Society during the past year: 



The last Annual Meeting was held in Ottawa in the Chateau 

 Laurier on May 21, 22 and 23. The meeting was well attended and 

 the accommodation which was given the Society by the management 

 of the Chateau was, as in former years, excellent. 



Owing to the formation of a fifth section, it has been more diffi- 

 cult to make provision for the meetings of the Sections, but it is hoped 

 that the arrangements we have made this year will prove satisfactory. 



1. — Proceedings and Transactions of the Society 



An examination of the volume this year will show that the space 

 allotted by the Council to the Transactions has been exceeded by 

 38 pages. A bound copy is laid upon the table for inspection and 

 the volume will be distributed promptly after the meeting.
