REPORT OF SECTION III 



The meeting of 1920 must rank with the most successful in the 

 history of the Section ; the attendance was above the average and the 

 papers presented were of marked scientific interest and value. 



The Section was again honoured by the presence of Professor 

 Dayton C. Miller, D.Sc, of the Case School of Applied Science, 

 Cleveland, Ohio, who in an illustrated address described his further 

 studies and their results in connection with sound waves from large 

 guns and projectiles, with special reference to velocity of explosive 

 sounds in free air. 



Five sessions were held at which thirty-nine papers were read in 

 full or in abstract. The programme included many papers of import- 

 ance and may be considered as representative of research and investi- 

 gation by Canadian workers during the past year in the sciences of 

 mathematics, physics and chemistry. The discussions following the 

 papers were taken part in by a large number of the Fellows present 

 and added much to the interest and value of the matter presented by 

 the several authors. 



The following Fellows were in attendance: Dr. A. S. Eve, Presi- 

 dent; Dr. J. C. Fields, Vice-President; Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Secretary; 

 Messrs. Allan, F. B.; Allen, Frank; Archibald, É. H.; Bronson, Howard 

 L.; Clark, A. L.; Dawson, W. Bell; DeLury, Alfred T.; Deville, E.;
