At the first Conference the chair was taken by Mr. Francis Galton, 
the Corresponding Societies Committee being also represented by Dr.

The Chairman proposed that the Report of the Corresponding Socie-

Sections should be taken in alphabetical order. 
No statements were made respecting Sections A and B. 
Section C.

Which was working in connection with the British Association, and a
