Susp-COMMITTEES. 
In another direction the work of the Association has grown, 
and it is one to which great importance is to be attached, as 
it is an attempt to work on the lines laid down by the British 
Association, with which our Association is affiliated. (See Part viii). 
For this purpose your Council recommended the election of 
permanent Sub-Committees, each of which should engage in some 
definite work. 
The following Sub-Committees have already been appointed, 
Viz. :— 
At Keswick, in Meterology and Geology. 
At Maryport, in Archeology, Marine Zoology, Botany, and 
Geology. 
At CARLISLE, in Botany, Entomology, Geology, Icthyology, 
and Ornithology. 
When these Sub-Committees get fairly to work, the Council 
anticipates that much good will result therefrom, and it trusts next 
Annual Meeting not only to notify a still larger number of such 
Committees, but also the general result of their deliberations. 
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION. 
In the matter of University Extension the Council has also 
made a forward movement, ¢wo Local Associations having elected 
their Extension Lecturer through the offices of the Hon. Associa. 
tion Secretary. During the coming year the action of Reading 
Circles as an adjunct to University Extension, or as a separate 
organisation, will be anxiously watched.
