ftesolutions referred to the Council for consideration, and action 
if desirable. 
From Section A. 
G.) The Committee think it desirable that information as to reports and papers 
sent to the General Secretary for communication to any Section should be forwarded 
to the Recorder of the Section concerned as soon as possible after it is received at the 
office. 
(ii.) The Committee of Section A desire to draw the attention of the Committee 
of Recommendations to the concluding portion of Sir John Eliot’s Introductory 
Address to the Sub-Section for Astronomy and Cosmical Physics, and to express the 
opinion that the organisation of a Central Meteorological Department for the British 
Empire would be of the highest benefit to the progress of Meteorological Science 
and its application to the economic problems of the various Colonies and Depen- 
dencies. The object of each department would be to collect and prepare digests of 
the Meteorological observations taken in different parts of the Empire, to provide a 
scientific staff for dealing with the more general Meteorological problems, includ- 
ing their relations to Solar Physics and Terrestrial Magnetism, which involve the 
co-ordination of data from wide areas, and to promote experimental investiga- 
tions of the scientific questions which arise in connection with such discoveries. 
The Committee desire also to express the opinion that the reorganisation of the 
Meteorological Office, which is at present before the Government, affords an excep- 
tionally favourable opportunity for the establishment of such a central Meteoro- 
logical Department for the Empire. 
From Section F. 
(i.) That it is desirable that the Reports of Committees, especially where they 
extend over two or more years, should be offered for public circulation in a separate 
form from the annual volume of Reports, at a 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. 
Irom the Conference of Delegates. 
(i.) That a Committee be appointed, consisting of Members of the Council of 
the Association, together with representatives of the Corresponding Societies, to 
consider the present relation between the British Association and local Scientific 
Societies, : 
That the Committee be empowered to make suggestions to the Council with a 
view to the greater utilisation of the connection between the Association and the 
affiliated Societies, and the extension of affiliation to other Societies who are at pre- 
sent excluded under Regulation 1,
