XVlll MEMBEBS AND ASSOCIATES. 



In recommending the appointment of Scientific Committees all 

 members of the Committee should be named, and one of them should be 

 appointed to act as Secretary who has notified his willingness to accept 

 the office. The number of members appointed to serve on a Scientific 

 Committee should be as small as is consistent with its efficient working. 

 Individuals may be recommended to make reports. 



All recommendations adopted by Sectional Comoiittees are to be 

 forwarded without delay to the Recommendation Committee ; unless this 

 is done the recommendation cannot receive the sanction of the Associa- 

 tion. 



At 11 a.m. precisely the chair will be taken, and the reading of papers 

 will commence. In the middle of the day an adjournment for luncheon 

 will be made, and at 4 p.m. the Sections will close. 



At the close of each meeting the Sectional Secretary will correct, on 

 a copy of the official journal, the list of papers wliich have been read, and 

 add to it a list of those appointed to be read on the next day, and send it 

 to the General Secretaries. 



Recommendation Committee. 



The General Committee, at its first meeting, will appoint a Com- 

 mittee of Recommendations to receive and consider the reports of the 

 Scientific Committees appointed at last meeting, as well as the recom- 

 mendations from Sectional Committees, and also to report to the General 

 Committee, at a subsequent meeting, the measures which they would 

 advise to be adopted for the advancement of science. 



All proposals for the appointment of Scientific Committees must be 

 sent in through the Recommendation Committee. 



This Committee will meet at 2 p.m., the 19th January, and again at
