PROCEEDINGS FOR 1922 XXVII 



before the Section. This would leave more time for discussion, and 

 would not interfere with the subsequent publication of the paper 

 in full. 



The Section put itself upon record as favouring any means which 

 might be found practicable for bringing about closer relations with 

 Section I. 



The Section took up the question of the date of the annual 

 meeting, but felt that it was a matter rather for discussion at a 

 general meeting of the Society, and therefore offers no recommenda- 

 tion as a Section. 



Mr. Currelly brought up the matter of the preservation of historic 

 buildings in England and their accessibility to the public, and sug- 

 gested that a sub-committee might be appointed to draft a communi- 

 cation to the Imperial Government expressing the views of the Royal 

 Society. The Section felt, however, that it was improper for the 

 Royal Society to interfere in what was essentially a domestic question 

 for the Mother Country. 



The Advisory Committee on Nominations for the Section was 

 elected as follows: Dr. Shortt, Prof. Edgar, Dr. Coyne, Dr. Lighthall, 

 Dr. MacMechan, Prof. Martin and Judge Howay. 



The Printing Committee of the Section consists of the following: 

 Mr. Burpee, Dr. Morison and Gen. Cruikshank. 



The following officers were elected: President, Prof. Hill-Tout; 

 Vice-President, Judge Howay; Secretary, Mr. Burpee.
