XV REPORT—1845. 
9. That it be recommended that advantage should be taken of every op- 
portunity of extending Magnetic Surveys in regions not hitherto surveyed, 
and in the neighbourhood of Magnetic Observatories. pide 
10. That it be strongly recommended that the Staff of Colonel Sabine’s 
establishment at Woolwich be maintained, with such an increased force as 
may cause the observations which have been made, and those which shall 
hereafter be made, to be reduced and published with all possible expe- 
dition. 
11. That this Meeting have recommended the reduction of the Establish- 
ments at present attached to some of the Magnetical and Meteorological 
Observatories, in the full confidence that if, after careful discussion of the 
Observations made to the end of 1845, there should appear to be reason for 
restoring some of those Establishments, and for forming new ones, the 
British Government and the East India Company will give their aid with the 
same liberality which they have displayed in the maintenance of the existing 
Observatories. 
12. That the cordial cooperation which has hitherto prevailed between 
the British and Foreign Magnetic and Meteorological Observatories, having 
produced the most important results, and being considered by us as abso- 
lutely essential to the success of the great system of combined observation 
which has been undertaken, it is earnestly recommended that the same spirit 
of cooperation should continue to prevail; and that the President of the 
British Association be requested to make application to the British Govern- 
ment, to convey the expression of this opinion to the Governments of those 
other countries which have already taken part in the Observations. 
13. The British Association, assembled at Cambridge, cannot permit the 
proceedings of this Meeting to terminate without expressing their sense of 
great obligation to the eminent Foreign Gentlemen who have taken part in 
the discussions of the Conference, and whose unwearied attention has been 
most effectively bestowed on every part of the proceedings. 
14. That the Committee which has hitherto conducted the cooperation of 
the British Association, in the system of combined observations, be re- 
appointed, for the purpose of preparing a report to accompany the presenta- 
tion to the British Government and to the Directors of the East India Com- 
pany, of the resolutions passed at this Meeting, and that the 
Marquis of Northampton, Professor Christie, and 
Sir John Lubbock, Bart., Professor J. D. Forbes, 
be added to the Committee. 
Resolved, in conformity with the express opinion of the Magnetic Con- 
ference, sanctioned by the Committee of Recommendations— 
“ That it is highly desirable to encourage by specific pecuniary reward the 
improvement of Self-recording Magnetical ‘and Meteorological Apparatus ; 
and that 
The President of the British Association, and 
The President of the Royal Society, 
be requested to solicit the favourable consideration of Her Majesty’s Go- 
vernment to this subject.”
