PROCEEDINGS FOR 1914 XXXIII 



It was also decided that action under Clause 8 of the By-Laws 

 be suspended for another year in the case of the member who had 

 not complied with the regulations regarding attendance or presenta- 

 tion of papers. 



The officers of the Section were appointed as the Sectional Print- 

 ing Committee. 



The Section recommended to the Society the appointment of a 

 Committee to obtain full information as to the dangers to life arising 

 from the presence of carbon monoxide gas in ordinary illuminating 

 gas with a view of directing the attention of the Government to this 

 matter and in the hope of limiting the use of this dangerous mixture. 



The Section further recommended that the Society adopt the 

 proposal of the International Chemical Association to systematize 

 the abbreviations of periodicals referred to in chemical memoirs. 



The question of the change in the method of publication pro- 

 posed in Section VIII of the Report of Council was very fully dis- 

 cussed and carefully considered by the Section. The members were 

 unanimously in favour of the proposed change and recommended 

 that a strong committee be appointed to arrange all details.
