XXII THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Professor Prince, Professor R. B. Thomson and Dr. Coyne spoke 

 after Dr. MacKay had finished reading his address, all referring in 

 most eulogistic terms to the character and work of Dr. Macoun. 



The matter of amendment to the By-laws was again taken up. 

 Section III, through Mr. Patterson, suggested a change in the amend- 

 ment as originally proposed, and Section IV, through Dr. Young, 

 recommended that the original By-law stand. It was then decided 

 that the recommendations of Section III should be printed and dis-

 Thomas L. Walker be appointed members of a Delegation from the 

 Royal Society of Canada to the session of the International Geological 

 Congress to be held in August of this year in Belgium and that the 

 Honorary Secretary be empowered to add to the numbers of this 

 Delegation any other members of Section IV who may signify their 

 intention of attending the same session of this Congress. — Carried.
