XEXVI REPORT—-1904. 
a Committee should be as small as is consistent with its efficient 
working. 
A tabular list of the Committees appointed on the recommendation 
of each Section shall be sent each year to the Recorders of the 
several Sections, to enable them to fill in the statement whether or no the 
several Committees appointed on the recommendation of their respective 
Sections have presented their reports. 
On the proposal to recommend the appointment of a Committee 
for a special object of science having been adopted by the Sectional 
Committee, the number of Members of such Committee shall be then 
fixed, but the Members to serve on such Committee shall be nominated 
and selected by the Sectional Committee at a subsequent meeting. 
Committees have power to add to their number persons, being Members 
of the Association, whose assistance they may require. 
The recommendations adopted by the Committees of Sections are to 
be registered on the Forms furnished to their Secretaries, and one Copy of 
each is to be forwarded, without delay, to the Assistant Secretary of the 
Association for presentation to the Committee of Recommendations. 
Unless this be done, the Recommendations cannot receive the sanction of the 
Association. 
N.B.—Recommendations which may originate in any one of the Sections 
must first be sanctioned by the Committee of that Section before they can 
be referred to the Committee of Recommendations or confirmed by the 
General Committee. 
Notices regarding Grants of Money.' 
1. No Committee shall raise money in the name or under the auspices of 
the British Association without special permission from the General 
Committee to do so; and no money so raised shall be expended 
except in accordance with the Rules of the Association. 
2. In grants of money to Committees the Association does not contem- 
plate the payment of personal expenses to the Members. 
3. Committees to which grants of money are entrusted by the Association 
for the prosecution of particular Researches in Science are ap- 
pointed for one year only. If the work of a Committee cannot be 
completed in the year, and if the Sectional Committee desire the 
work to be continued, application for the reappointment of the 
Committee for another year must be made at the next meeting of 
the Association. 
4, Each Committee is required to present a Report, whether final or in- 
terim, at the next meeting of the Association after their appoint- 
ment or reappointment. Interim Reports must be submitted in 
writing, though not necessarily for publication. 
5. In each Committee the Chairman is the only person entitled to call 
on the Treasurer, Professor John Perry, F.R.S., for such portion 
of the sums granted as may from time to time be required. 
6. Grants of money sanctioned at a meeting of the Association expire ou 
June 30 following. The Treasurer is not authorised after that 
date to allow any claims on account of such grants.
