In accordance with the decision arrived at by them at Southport, the 

 General Committee will meet on Tuesday, 11th November, at 3 o'clock in 

 the afternoon, in the Theatre of the Royal Institution, Albemarle Street, 

 London, W., for the transaction of the following business, viz. : — 



To elect the President, Officers, and Council for 1884-5. 



To fix the date of meeting for 1885. 



To appoint the place of meeting for 1886. 



To consider the alteration of rules necessary to give effect to the 

 recommendations of the Committee on Local Scientific Societies. 



Supplementary Report presented to the General Committee at the Meeting 

 held at the Royal Institution, London, November 11, 1884. 



During the Meeting of the British Association at Montreal, a pro- 

 posal was made to commemorate the first visit of the British Association 

 to the Dominion of Canada, and the reception at Montreal, by founding 

 a Gold Medal in the McGill University, as a permanent memorial of the 

 Meeting. 



There are at present five Gold Medals in the Faculty of Arts of the 

 McGill University. Two of the five are for Science subjects, but for the 

 special Faculty of Applied Science there is only one Silver Medal. 



Although the final decision as to the details of the award would be 

 left to the authorities of the University, it was suggested that the Medal 

 should be given annually to the Graduating Class in the Faculty of 

 Applied Science, any surplus income to be expended in prizes in that 

 Faculty. 



In support of this proposal private subscriptions from Members and 

 Associates at Montreal were paid or promised to the amount of nearly 

 500Z., and it is believed that many Members of the Association who were 

 unable to attend the Meeting, or who hart left Montreal before the close 

 thereof, will be glad to contribute to the fund.
