Dr. Hork, on opening the proceedings apologised for the delay in beginning 
the sitting. There had been meetings of the Bureau which had been very pro- 
tracted, but as the matters discussed there were of first importance he hoped the 
members of the Statistical Section would understand why he was unable to be 
present earlier. He reminded the members also that a meeting of Committee A 
was to be held in the same room at 4 p.m. It was necessary therefore to make 
their discussion as brief as possible. wh 
He then read the first item on the Agenda as submitted by Dr. Kyır, viz. 
discussion of the draft of the Statistical Bulletin. He wished to explain 
that this draft was incomplete, as could be seen, but it was merely intended to 
show the form in which the Bureau would publish the statistical data of the vari- 
ous countries. He would ask the various members if they wished to make any 
criticisms or remarks on the Bulletin, but first of all he would ask one of the 
gentlemen present to take notes of the proceedings, perhaps Mr. Garsrana would 
kindly do so. ;
