After the Report of this Committee had been received, the Council 

 resolved by a majority to recommend : — 



That Agriculture be constituted a Section of the Association. 



V. In the Report of the Council for 1909-10 proposals were made 

 as to the grouping or reorganisation of certain Sections, but these pro 

 posals were not accepted by the General Committee. The discussion 

 upon these proposals, however, indicated the desirability of further con- 

 sideration of this subject, and the Council have therefore given close 

 attention to a series of suggestions for a revised scheme of Sectional 

 Meetings which have been brought before them during the present 

 year. 



The Council, while resolving not to forward these suggestions to the 

 General Committee as a recommendation, consider it desirable to bring 

 them to the notice of the Committee in the present Report (see 

 Appendix). 



VI. A Resolution, referred to the Council by the General Com- 

 mittee at Sheffield, has been received
