At the meeting of Section I (Physiology) on August 16, 1905, the 

 resolution was passed which defined the scope of the above Committee as 

 being, ' To make further research and inquiries ' into the effect of climate 

 upon health and disease. 



This resolution was considered at a subsequent meeting of the Sectional 

 Committee. The Sectional Committee I'egarded the subject as so impor 

 tant that they willingly sent forward the resolution to the Committee of 

 Recommendations. Although the duties of the Committee promised 

 to be very laborious, the Sectional Committee felt justified in asking 

 for only a small grant of money (20^.) for the year 1905-6. This 

 grant was to be spent on preliminary inquiries, for the purpose of finding 

 out whether the necessary data were obtainable, and whether in the 

 opinion of scientists useful researches could be carried on. 



The General Committee appointed the present Committee, and placed 

 201. at their disposal. 



The Committee have confined their work to the two points which have 

 been mentioned. 



J. The Colleclion of Data. — In these matters the Committee must 

 tender their thanks to the War Ofiice, which, through the agency of 

 Lieut. -Colonel Simpson, R.A.M.C, has placed a great mass of data at 

 their disposal. 



A suitable list of diseases has been drawn up. It is proposed to 

 circulate this, with suggestions as to the points to bo considered in pre- 

 paring local ajul district monographs on cliniate and disease.
