PROCEEDINGS FOR 1922 XXXV 



Dr. C. W. Knight, Mr. R. McConnell, Dr. W. Mclnnes, Dr. T. L. 

 Walker, Dr. R. C. Wallace, Mr. J. White and Dr. G. A. Young, 

 Secretary. 



Three new Fellows were elected during the past year: Dr. John 

 A. Allan, Mr. W. A. Johnston and Dr. S. J. Schofield. 



The following resolutions were adopted : — 



1. That the three vacancies now existing in the Section be filled. 



2. That the necessary action be taken to secure permission to 

 increase the membership of the Section by ten, 



3. That the Printing Committee of the Section consist of three 

 members to be elected and, in addition, the Secretary, who shall act 

 as chairman. 



4. The following resolution prepared by a Special Committee 

 appointed to consider the general question of the publications of the 

 Society: — 



(a) That the papers presented each year before Section IV, and 

 afterwards selected for publication by the Publications Committee 

 of the Section, be published as a separate volume of the Transactions 

 of the Society. It is thought that this procedure will accelerate the 

 publication of papers, and that the resultant more complete segregation 

 of papers upon closely related subjects will prove to be advantageous 

 to readers of the Transactions. 



(b) That the Secretary of the Section be advised to notify con- 

 tributors of papers, after presentation of these papers, that the com- 

 plete manuscripts must be delivered to the Secretary not later than 

 June 30th. if publication is desired. Further, that papers selected 

 for publication in the Transactions should be arranged consecutively 

 in the order of priority of their receipt by the Secretary. 



(c) In addition to the above recommendations to the general 

 assembly it is recommended to this Section that further encourage- 

 ment be given to the presentation of papers that deal with large 

 problems and that are likely to promote collective study of such 

 problems. 



5. That Section IV is of the opinion, considering both the interests 

 of members of the Section engaged in University work and those 

 engaged in geological field work, that dates for the Annual Meeting, 

 such as those chosen for the present year, are much more convenient 

 than any dates subsequent to May 24th. 



6. That the proposed changes in Section 8 relating to Duties of 

 Members are considered by Section IV to be unnecessary and not in 

 the best interests of the Society, and Section IV confirms the resolution
