PROCEEDINGS FOR 1921 XV 



3. That the suggestion be brought to the attention of the older 

 members of the Section in question, whose condition or responsibiHties 

 prevent active participation in the work of the Section, that it is 

 possible for such to retire from active Fellowship full of honour, their 

 services to Science and to the Royal Society of Canada being recog- 

 nized in placing them on the retired list of Fellows with retention of 

 Title. Their counsel and influence may thus be retained, and at the 

 same time room afforded for the reception of desirable new Fellows.

 the meeting: —

 IV this year received the requisite proportion of votes cast and

 IV be filled without further delay, be it 



" Resolved that the By-laws of the Society be suspended and that

 membership in the Society."
