COUNCIL — FEBRUARY 1904 29 
Prof. Homéx then brought forward the question of constituting a special 
Hydrographical Committee. 
The President said in reply to this proposal, that the Bureau, on acknow- 
ledging that the existence of a permanent committee in special cases might be 
useful, for the present had not found it possible to propose the constitution of 
such a Committee. He congratulated the hydrographical members upon the excellent 
work they had done when ineeting in a section in a quite informal way. 
The Agenda being herewith completed, the President conveyed his thanks 
to all the gentlemen who had contributed to make the third meeting of the Council 
a really successful one. He proposed moreover a vote of thanks to Mr. H. O. 
Lippert and Dr. G. Mönrıng from Hamburg who had been of the greatest assistance 
to the Bureau in making all necessary arrangements for the meeting. 
The vote was carried unanimously. 
Prof. d’Arcy W. THompson moved a vote of thanks to the President and to 
the other members of the Bureau for the way in which this meeting was organised 
and conducted, and for all the good services the Bureau had already rendered to 
the carrying out of the international investigations. 
The vote was cordially agreed to. 
The President closed the meeting at 11.45 a.m.
