 sonally or in writing his luillingness to accept the office, the Chairman to have 

 the responsihility of receiving and disbursing the grant (if any has been made) 

 ■and securing the presentation of the Report in due time ; and, further, it is

That a tabular list of the Committees appointed on the recommendation 

 of each Section shoidd be sent each year to the Recorders of the several Sec- 

 iions, to enable them to fill in the statement whether the several Committees 

 appointed on the recommendation of their respective Sectio7is had presented 

 their reports. 



That 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 be then fixed, but that the Metnbers to 

 serve on such Committee be nominated and selected by the Sectional Com- 

 mittee at a subsequent meeting.^ 



Committees have power to add to their number persons whose assist- 

 ance they may require. 



The recommendations adopted by the Committees of Sections are to 

 be registered in the Forms fui-nished to their Secretaries, and one Copy of 

 each is to be forwarded, without delay, to the Assistant General Secretary 

 •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.
