Sea, or of the Mountjoy Observations, for which purposes grants of 

 public money have been sanctioned by Her Majesty's government at 

 the recommendation of the British Association. 



III. The Council have added the following names to the list of Cor- 

 responding Members of the British Association : — Prof. Plucker, of 

 Bonn ; Dr. Siljestrom, of Stockholm ; Prof. H. D. Rogers, of Philadelphia. 



IV. Prof. Dove, of Berlin, Corresponding Member of the British As- 

 sociation, having offered to supply the Association with as many copies 

 as might be desired of his Maps of the monthly Isothermal Lines of the 

 Globe, founded upon the Temperature Tables printed in the volume of 

 the Reports of the British Association for 1848, which maps have been 

 partly engraved and partly lithographed at the expense of the Royal 

 Academy of Sciences at Berlin, the Council directed that Prof. Dove 

 should be requested to supply the Association with 500 copies, on the 

 understanding that the Association should pay for the paper and for 

 taking off the impressions ; and that the copies thus furnished should 

 be sold, under the direction of the officers, to members of the Associa- 

 tion at cost price, with the translation of a report from Prof. Dove ex- 

 planatory of the Maps and of a more obvious conclusion deduced from 

 them. The Maps have been completed, but from accidental circum- 

 stances the packet containing the first 200 copies prepared for the As- 

 sociation, has not yet been despatched from Berlin, and cannot be ex- 

 pected to reach England until after the meeting at Birmingham is over; 

 but copies of the Maps and Report will be forwarded immediately after 

 they arrive, to members who may be desirous of purchasing them, and 

 who give their names for that purpose in the Reception Room. The 

 cost of each copy will be 55. for the three Maps. 



V. The Council has directed that the following additions should be 

 made to the Regulations, according to which the volumes of the Reports 

 are distributed to the Members: — 



1. That members who have formerly paid 5Z. as a life composition, 

 and shall at any future time pay an additional sum of 5/., shall be en- 

 titled to receive (gratis) the volumes of the Transactions which shall 

 be published afier the date of such additional payments. 



2. That Members shall have the opportunity of purchasing any of 

 the already published volumes of the Association, of which more than 

 one hundred copies remain, at half the price at which the volumes 

 were issued to the public.

 Committee the following list of invitations from which the Genera! Com-
