CORRESPONDING SOCIETIES. 321 



Conference of Delegates to the Council of the British Association asking them to 

 take some action in the matter. 



Mr. A. W. Oke thought that the Chairman had brought forward a matter of 

 great importance. If Government would not reconsider their decision could not 

 the local societies memorialise their members of Parliament? 



After further discussion, Professor Watts said that the Corresponding 

 Societies Committee might consider the advisability of the local societies bringing 

 pressure to bear on their members of Parliament, and if so the societies should 

 report to the Committee the result of their action. 



It was eventually proposed by Mr. Kidner, seconded, and carried unani- 

 mously : ' That the Corresponding Societies Committee consider the advisability 

 of inviting the societies represented at the Conference of Delegates to com- 

 municate with the Treasury and with their members of Parliament, with a view 

 to reverting to the old prices of the Geological Survey maps.' 



The meeting then adjourned, after passing a hearty vote of thanks to 

 Dr. Tempest Anderson and Professor Kendall for presiding.
