XXVIII THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



The Section recommends that the name of Mr. John Ross Robert- 

 son be retained on the list of members for another year. 



A more systematic arrangement of the time-table for present- 

 ation of papers was suggested. It often happens that Fellows of other 

 Sections, as well as persons not members of the Society, are desirous 

 of hearing papers of general interest, or in which they may have a 

 special interest, but find themselves unable to do so, owing to uncer- 

 tainty as to the time when the papers will be read. A motion was 

 carried requesting the Executive of the Section to endeavour to secure 

 a more satisfactory time-schedule for future sessions, and to co- 

 operate with other Sections to that end. 

 The following officers were elected : 

 President: Maurice Hutton, M.A., LL.D. 

 Vice-President: W. Lawson Grant, M.A. 

 Secretary: L. J. Burpee, F.R.G.S.
