RECOMMENDATIONS ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL CoMMITTEE AT THE Cam- 
BRIDGE MEETING IN JunE 1845. 
Involving Applications to Government and Public Institutions. 
MAGNETICAL AND METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATORIES. 
Resolutions adopted by the Magnetic Conference. 
1. That the Magnetic Observatory at Greenwich be permanently con- 
tinued, upon the most extensive and efficient scale that the interests of the 
Sciences of Magnetism and Meteorology may require. 
2. That it be earnestly recommended to the Provost and Fellows of 
Trinity College, Dublin, to continue the Magnetical and Meteorological Ob- 
servations at the Observatory instituted by that University. 
3. That it be recommended to continue the Observatory at Toronto upon 
its present footing until the 31st of December 1848, unless in the mean time 
arrangements can be made for its permanent establishment. 
4, That it be recommended to continue the Observatory at Van Diemen’s

6. That it be recommended that the building and materials of the Mag- 
netical and Meteorological Obseryatory at the Cape of Good Hope should 
be transferred to the Astronomical Observatory there, to which an Assistant,

nations, 
7. That it be recommended to the Court of Directors of the East India 
Company, that the Observatories of Simla and Singapore be discontinued at 
the end of the present year; but that the Magnetic and Meteorological 
Observations now made at Bombay and Madras be permanently continued 
in connexion with the Astronomical Observations at these Stations, and that 
it be further recommended to the Court of Directors, to sanction the pro- 
posal made by Mr. Elliot, for a Magnetic Survey of the Indian meas to 
-commence at the close of the present year. 
8. That it be recommended that the Canadian Survey be continued until
