the need of financial aid to Departments of Education in Universities 
and other higher institutions of learning, for purposes of research. 
In conclusion, the Committee ask that they should be reappointed, 
and that a grant of 101. should be made towards the cost of the inquiry. 
This sum would be chiefly expended in circularising foreign institutions 
and securing such literature bearing on the work that is being done as 
would enable the Committee to report more precisely upon the subject.

consisting of Mr. W. WHITAKER (Chairman), Mr. W. PB. D.

Tur Committee beg leave to recommend that the Royal Institution of 
Cornwall and the Liverpool Botanical Society be placed on the list of 
affiliated societies. Applications have also been received from the 
Ipswich and District Field Club to be raised from the associated to the 
affiliated list and from the West Kent Natural History, Microscopical, 
and Photographie Society for affiliation, but the Committee has deferred 
its decision until further or sample parts of the proceedings of these two 
societies have been received. 
The resignations of the Bakewell Naturalists’ Club and the Haslemere 
Natural History Society as associated societies have been accepted by 
the Committee. 
The Committee have had an enquiry arising out of the subject of 
photographic surveys, which was dealt with at the York and Leicester 
meetings, during the past year, as to starting a photographic survey of 
the County of Northamptonshire by the Northamptonshire Natural 
History Society and Field Club if the preliminary funds (about £12) 
could be raised. 
Through the outcome of a clause in the resolution passed at the 
Leicester Conference that steps should be taken ‘ to found or promote a 
photographic record of the town or district in which the British Associa- 
tion holds its annual meeting,’ the Committee are pleased to be able to 
state that an excellent exhibition of photographs, illustrating local 
natural history and archeology, was got together last year by the Dublin 
Naturalists’ Field Club. ‘The collection was shown in a room at Trinity 
College. 
The Committee desire to bring before the Council the unofficial position 
of the Chairman of the Conference of Delegates. They suggest that he 
should be ex officio 1 member of the Committee of Recommendations, 
and therefore in a similar position to the Presidents of Sections.
