REPORT OF SECTION IV. 



Section IV held four sessions which were attended by sixteen 

 Fellows and a number of visitors. Twenty-five papers were read, 

 either in full or by title; a list of these is appended. These papers 

 provoked a lively discussion and were listened to with great interest 

 by the members of the Section. 



The following members were nominated for the Sectional Printing 

 Committee : — 



Mr. Dowling, Dr. Hewitt and Dr. Harrison. Mr. Dowling was 

 nominated to act upon the General Printing Committee of the Society. 



The Sectional Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows :

Vice-President Mr. J. B. Tyrrell. 



Secretary Professor J. J. Mackenzie. 



A letter from Mr. A. McDonald upon the establishment of 

 laboratories for the study of criminals and defectives transmitted 

 to the Section by the General Secretary, was fully discussed. Upon 

 motion the Section decided to refer the whole matter to a Committee 

 as follows: —

 Mackenzie to report at the next meeting of the Society. 



A motion was unanimously passed by Section IV that in 1915
