COUNCIL — JULY 1905 10 
section and held two meetings in the course of the week, in order to discuss the 
reports and proposals regarding statistics submitted by the Bureau. The proposals 
of this section would be dealt with when Head 7 b—d of the Agenda came under 
discussion. 
Under Head 2 of the Agenda (Final approval of the Expenditure 
for the financial year 1903—O4) the president reported, that the statement 
of expenditure had been examined by the Audit Committee and that the Com- 
mittee had found the account in order. A summary of the administration, showing 
that the balance at the end of the year 1903—04 was Kr. 3078233, was published 
in the Report of Administration for 1903—1904, on p. IV. The President’s proposal 
to pass the said account was carried unanimously. 
Under Head 3 of the Agenda (Nomination of the members of the 
Bureau, of the Committees and of the Finance Committee for 1904— 
1905) the President said, that, though it did not appear from the Proces-Verbal 
of the meeting of July 1902, that the members of the Bureau and of the Commit- 
tees had been nominated for three years only, it seemed desirable that these 
gentlemen should resign their offices and place themselves for reelection at the dis- 
posal of the meeting. This was accordingly done. 
On a proposal coming from the meeting, all the gentlemen were reelected 
unanimously and Mr. E. W. L. Hott, Dublin, was elected as new member for Great — 
Britain and Ireland on Committees A and B. 
All the gentlemen expressed their readiness to accept their nomination. 
As members of the Audit Committee for the accounts of the financial year 
1904—05, besides the ex officio members President Hrrwıc and Vice-President 
Perrersson and the Honorary Treasurer Capt. DRECHSEL (preexamination), Mr. W. EB 
Arcuer, London, Mr. A. Hamman, Ostende, and Dr. N. KnıpowırscH, Petersburg, were 
nominated. These gentlemen also accept their nomination. 
Under Head 4 of the Agenda (Decision regarding the Expenditure 
for the financial year 1904—1905; id. for the financial year 1905— 
1906) the proposed expenditure for the financial year 1904—1905 was considered 
first. The scheme of expenditure for this year, as also that for the year 1905—1906, 
had been laid before the General Executive of the Bureau and had been approved — 
by it. The scheme of expenditure for 1904—1905 was accepted unanimously 
(Appendix A to the present Proces-Verbal). 
The scheme of expenditure for the financial year 1905—1906 was then consi- ; 
dered. The items of receipt and expenditure were approved one by one and the scheme 
of expenditure was accepted unanimously (Append. B to the present Proces-Verbal).
