APPENDIX 11. 



Corresponding Societies Committee. — Report of the Committee, consisting 

 of Mr. W. Whitaker (Chairman), Mr. W. P. D. Stebbing (Secre- 

 tary), Bev. J. 0. Bevan, Sir Edward Brabrook, Dr. J. G. 

 Garson, Principal E. H. Griffiths, Dr. A. C. Haddon, Mr. T. V. 

 Holmes, Mr. J. Hopkinson, Mr. A. L. Lewis, Mr. F. W. Budler, 

 Bev. T. B. B. Stebbing, and the President and General 

 Officers. (Drawn up by the Secretary.) 



The Committee beg leave to recommend that the Cotteswold Natural- 

 ists' Field Club and the Sheffield Naturalists' Club be placed on the 

 list of Affiliated Societies. 



The Warrington Field Club reports that its membership has dropped 

 below fifty, but the Committee recommend its continuance on the list 

 of Associated Societies for the present as the fall below the statutory- 

 number may be only temporary. 



The Committee recommend that the hour for meeting of the Con- 

 ference of Delegates at Portsmouth be changed from 3 p.m. to 2 p.m. 



The Committee report that while the price of the Geological Survey 

 maps to the public has not been reduced, uncoloured copies of the 

 maps printed with the boundary-lines of the formations may be pur- 

 chased at the same price as the plain Ordnance Survey sheets. 



Professor J. W. Gregory has promised to preside at the Conference 

 of Delegates in Portsmouth, and to deliver an address. 



Mr. F. Balfour Browne, of Belfast, will report on the findings of a 

 committee of members of Sections D and K appointed to formulate 

 a definite system on which collectors should record their captures. 



The Committee recommend for discussion the following subjects, 

 which have been suggested by the British Mycological Society and the 

 Selborne Society: (1) The Study of Fungi by Local Natural History 

 Societies: (2) The Protection of Plants. The delegates of these 

 Societies will be present and will open the discussions. 



The Committee ask to be reappointed, and, in consideration of the 

 labour involved in the compilation of their catalogue of scientific papers, 

 and the expenditure on the binding and upkeep of the collection of 

 local societies' publications at the offices of the Association, apply for 

 a grant of 251.
