CXVIII THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Fall Term. 



"The Work of the Dominion Observatory," by Dr. W. F. King. 



"The Tides of Hudson Bay," by Dr. W. Bell Dawson. 



Dr. Schlesinger's lecture was delivered in the Y.M.C.A. Hall, 

 Dr. Dawson's in the Carnegie Library Hall and the others in the 

 Dominion Observatory. 



There were seven afternoon meetings as follows: — 



Spring Term. 



"Notes from the Cleveland Meeting of the Astronomical and 

 Astrophysical Society of America," by J. S. Plaskett and R. ML 

 Stewart; and "Longtitudes," by F. A. McDiarmid. 



"The Grating Spectograph," by J. S. Plaskett; and "A New 

 Form of Clock Synchronization," by D. B. Nugent. 



"Review of Current Progress in Astronomy," consisting of: — 

 "New Theories of Evolution of the Solar System," by T. H. Parker; 

 "Some Peculiarities of the Helium Stars," by W. E. Harper; and 

 "Some Problems in Geophysics," by Dr. Otto Klotz. 



"International Boundary Surveys from the St. Lawrence to the 

 St. Croix," by Thos. Fawcett. 



Fall Term. 



"The Bonn Meeting of the Solar Union," by Dr. J. S. Plaskett. 



"A New Method for Solar Observations," by Dr. R. E. DeLury; 

 and "The Undagraph," by Dr. Otto Klotz. 



"First Experiences with the Time Service," by D. Robertson; 

 and "Level Errors," by F. A. McDiarmid. 



It will thus be seen that thirteen topics were dealt with in the 

 afternoon meetings — which were all held in the Dominion Observa- 

 tory Lecture Room — and following the custom, they were chiefly 

 of a technical character. All the meetings were well attended and 

 those attending were well repaid by the quality of the lectures. 



During the year five members were elected and two resigned. 

 The revised membership is now ninety. The Society has held a 

 successful year and the prospects for the future are bright. 



The following are the officers for the year 1914: 



President — R.M. Stewart. 



Vice-President — F. A. McDiarmid. 



Secretary — R. E. DeLury. 



Treasurer — D. B. Nugent.
