Professor Meldola, Professor W. W. Watts, and the General Officers, 
having been appointed to consider and report upon the following Rrsoxvu- 
TION :— 
(i) ‘That it is desirable that the Reports of Committees, especially where 
they extend over two or more years, should be offered for public circu- 
lation in a separate form from the annual volume of Reports, ata 
small price, say 6d. per copy. 
(ii) ‘ That as there has been a great demand for copies of the Reports of the 
Women’s Labour Committee of this Section, and it has been impossible 
to satisfy it, these Reports be printed and sold separately at the smallest 
charge possible.’ 
The CommirrereE reported as follows :— 
(i) ‘As it is the custom of the Council to provide Committees with 
any reasonable number of separate copies of the Reports that are asked 
for while the type is standing, and as separate copies of such Reports are 
kept on sale and advertised in the Annual Volume, this Committee is of 
opinion that it is unnecessary to make any further arrangements for the 
separate publication of such Reports. The Committee are of opinion that 
any exceptional cases that arise might be dealt with by the General 
Officers, and subsequently reported to the Council. 
‘With regard to (ii) the Committee beg leave to recommend that it 
be left to the General Officers to communicate further with the Committee 
of Section F with a view to obtaining further information as to what is 
the demand for the Reports referred to, and to act at their discretion.’
