PROCEEDINGS FOR 1911 XIII 
Canada. The committees in question, it was pointed out, had been 
formed only on the occasions of a visit of the British Association to 
Canada, and the suggestion was made whether it might not be desirable 
to have a committee of the same nature appointed annually by the 
two organizations to take up such work, or tender such advice, as might 
from time to time seem desirable from a scientific or a national point of 
view. 
The Council, approving of the suggestion of their colleague, brought 
the matter before the British Association, and have received a reply 
stating that it will receive due consideration. 
XI.—LE MILLENAIRE NORMAND. 
In the month of August last a circular letter was received inviting 
the Society to send a delegate to a celebration which it was proposed 
to hold at Rouen, France, in the month of June this year in commemor- 
ation of the Thousandth Anniversary of the foundation of the Duchy 
of Normandy. The fétes in connection therewith are to last from the 
6th to the 10th of the month, and the occasion will doubtless be one 
of much historic and literary interest. It seemed very fitting that The 
Royal Society of Canada should send a representative if possible, and 
M. Paul de Cazes, formerly an active member of the Society, but now 
on the retired list retaining his title, who is at present residing in Paris, 
has been requested to attend the celebration in our behalf. The Council 
are persuaded that this action will be approved by the Society. 
XII.—COMMITTEES APPOINTED AT Last ANNUAL MEETING. 
One Committee was appointed at the last Annual Meeting to take 
such action as might be necessary in cgnnection with the International 
Geological Congress which is to meet at Toronto in 1913; and another 
to consider the matter of a memorial to David Thompson the Astronomer. 
The latter committee, according to the terms of the motion appointing 
it, is to report at the present meeting. 
XIII.—FINANCES OF THE SOCIETY. 
The Honorary Treasurer’s statement of Receipts and Expenditure 
is appended. This is furnished under two heads of Government Grant 
Account and General Account, and has been duly audited by two mem- | 
bers of the Society, Dr. Adam Shortt and Dr. J. C. Glashan, appointed 
by the Council for that purpose.
