 had also been circulated among the delegates, was deferred to the final meeting 

 of the Council ; the General Secretary stating that according to information received 

 it was not sure that Russia would continue to contribute, which would have to be 

 taken into consideration when deciding upon the Estimates.

 Study of the Sea after July 22nd 1910), the President stated that with 

 the exception of Russia — whose decision might not be known until February 

 1911 — all the participating countries had practically agreed to continue until 

 July 1911. As to future work, the scheme for this would be contained in the 

 resolutions to be passed at the second sitting of the Council.
