6. AU the documents have been forwarded through Professor Maical- 

 lum to the Association in South Africa, the accompanying map 

 showing buildings available was sent also. (The Chairman would 

 like this map returned to him as he has no other copy). 



7. A letter was received from Professor Macallum stating that the 

 Association could not come in 1907, but was prepared to accept 

 the invitation for 1909. 



8. A letter was received by the Chairman from Sir Wilfrid Laurier 

 stating that the grant of 1907 would stand good for 1909. 



9. The Chairman reports that he intends, when the date approaches 

 a little nearer, to bring before the Governments of Manitoba, 

 Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, as well as the cities 

 of Eegina, Calgary and Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria, the 

 desirability of the Association being taken through to the coast, 

 and that this will somewhat depend on whether tthe amounts 

 voted are sufficient to meet the expense. 



10. The Chairman met the authorities of the Canadian Pacific Eail- 

 way and they are favourable to the project and will be prepared 

 to manage, along with the other railways, matters of transporta- 

 tion without much trouble to the Eoyal Society, i.e., after the 

 principles of action have been agreed on by the committee and 

 the railway. 



11. In 1908 it is proposed to constitute a local committee in Winnipeg 

 to carry out the details of management which may be necessary. 



12. The Chairman, while in England, expects to meet the officials 

 of the British Association and have an understanding on the 

 matter. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



George Bryce, 



Chairman.
