 Sections, any proposals which might be made with regard to them to be brought 

 forward at a subsequent Meeting of the Council. 



In case any gentleman wished to deliver anything in the nature of a lecture

 Martin Knudsen, Prof. Pettersson, Dr. Redeke, Prof. D'arcy Thompson, Dr. Witting, 

 Dr. Zeilon, at "Polyteknisk Lsereanstalt"). 



Dr. HoEK raised the question as to what material from the different countries

 After some remarks, and some explanation by the President, this question was 

 referred to the Fisheries and Statistical section meetings.

 financial year 1908 — 09. Nomination of the Members of the Finance

 statement of accounts for the financial year 1908 — 09 had been investigated by 

 the Finance Committee (President Archer, Vice-President Rose, Captain Cornelis, 

 Professor Gilson, Dr. Trybom) and found in order. A summary showing also that

 1909 — 10 and the estimates for the year 1910 — 11), the President stated 

 that in accordance with resolution of the Council the statement of accounts had 

 been circulated among the Members, and that the balance at the end of the financial 

 year 1909—10 was Kr. 23592.32. He explained that the large surplus Was mainly 

 due to saving on the printing expenses; for instance, 5000 Kr. was estimated for 

 the printing of Dr. Heincke's General Report, which had not yet been received (see 

 Prof, Heincke's Statement p. p. 52 & 54).
