PROCEEDINGS FOR 1918 III 



ingly carried out the direction of Council in reducing the size of the 

 annual volume to 640 pages, exclusive of the proceedings. The 

 papers presented last year were voluminous and to meet the necessity 

 of the case many excellent and important papers had to be sacrificed 

 to the restricted limits of the volume. The Fellows cheerfully sub- 

 mitted to the abnormal conditions and the volume appears the smallest 

 issued for some years. It is believed, however, that the selection 

 of papers has been judicious, and that the volume is worthy of the 

 series. It will be noted that this Report of Council does not deal 

 with as many subjects as usual. The effect of the war has been to 

 limit the activities of the Society, as all are absorbed in the command-

The number of papers in the agenda this year, which is about 

 the same as last, shows the continued interest of the Fellows in the 

 work of the Society.
