PROCEEDINGS FOR 1908 XLV 



20. Moved by Mr. E. Deville, seconded by Dr. Barnes: 

 That tne iiiles be suspended, and that such papers as are recom- 

 mended for immediate publication by the publication committee of 

 Section III be printed in bulletin form, with the least possible delay 

 in the manner provided by sub-clause II of Clause 10 of the Kegulations, 

 so far as the funds available will allow. — Carried. 



Report of Section IV^. 



Section IV begs to report that five sessions were held, and were 

 attended by a large number of members. Twenty-one papers were 

 presented, the majority of which were read in full. These papers 

 were of more than usual interest and value, and gave rise in many 

 cases to full and very interesting discussions. The list of papers is * 

 appended to this report. 



In regard to the question of membership two motions were offered 

 and carefully considered, and it was decided to recommend that the 

 membership of the Section be increased to forty, and that the number 

 of members elected annually for the next three years should be three, 

 exclusive of tliose elected to fill vacancies. 



Section III unites with Section IV in asking the Council to memo- 

 rialize tlie Government askmg it, on behalf of Canadian Science and 

 its proper representation, to aid in compiling the Bibliography of 

 Canadian scientific publications, in association with the International 

 Catalogue of Scientific Literature; that it be brought to the attention 

 of the Government that no less than twenty other governments directly 

 subsidize the cataloguing of the scientific literature of these countries 

 and that Canada is left almost solitary in its absence of due represen- 

 tation.
