 Prof Mark — Prof Mark to be Secretary — to consider and report 

 upon the practicabiHty of securing uniformity in the use of abbre- 

 viations and in other matters of terminology, the Committee to be 

 known as the Committee of Terminology." 



The motion was adopted without discussion. 



Professor HiCKSON then presented the following statement, 

 and moved that the report be received and the recommendation 

 accepted. 



In view of the impossibility of transmitting to the various 

 members of the International Committee the detailed accounts 

 of the Concilium Bibliographicuvi, it was decided that the necessary 

 control over the financial operations of the institute required the 

 nomination of a finance committee, so situated that the revision of 

 the accounts of the Conciliuin could be satisfactorily carried out. 

 This action was demanded by the Swiss authorities subsidizing 

 the work. For this reason a Committee was formed comprising 

 delegates from the Federal Council of Education, the Cantonal 

 Parliament and the Town Council of Ziirich. 



The Committee therefore request the authority of the Congress 

 to transmit the duty of supervision of the financial affairs to the 

 Swiss Committee. 



The motion was adopted without discussion and the Meeting 

 adjourned.
