Burlington House, London, W. : February 26, 1902. 



' Dear Sir, — I herewith send you a copy of the Report of the Con- 

 ference of Delegates of the Corresponding Societies held at Glasgow. I 

 also enclose a list of the Committees of the Association appointed at that 

 meeting for the investigation of special subjects in which the co-operation 

 of the Corresponding Societies is desired, together with the names and 

 addresses of the Secretaries, to whom you should apply without delay for 

 specific instructions (beyond those given in the Report, pp. 14-22) as to 

 how the investigations or work should be carried out by your Society. 



' You will be good enough to have the Report communicated to your 

 Society at an early meeting, and to impress upon your members the 

 importance of taking part in the work of as many of these Committees 

 and in the investigation of as many of the subjects selected by the 

 Delegates as possible. To this end it is very desirable that your Society, 

 or the Council thereof, should appoint a Special Committee to consider 

 what work can be done by your Society, and to arrange for its being 

 begun forthwith. 



' The observations when made should form interesting communications 

 for your Society, and at the same time assist the work of the Committees 

 of the Association. 



' Besides adopting the programme of work proposed by the Delegates 

 for the Corresponding Societies to engage in, my Committee have also 

 resolved to accede to the request of the Delegates to ascertain and report 

 to the next meeting of the Association what work has been done by 

 each of the Corresponding Societies during the year towards the 

 investigation of the subjects specified, and what assistance they have
