Tur Committee beg leave to recommend that the Ipswich and District 
Field Club, the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia, and the University 
of Durham Philosophical Society be placed on the list of Affiliated 
Societies. They also desire to report, as an example of the inter- 
nationalisation of science, that the Instituts Solvay, a society, with its 
headquarters at Brussels, for the study of sociology, has asked for 
affiliation. This request, owing to the constitution of the British Asso- 
ciation, it has been impossible to grant. 
The membership of the Warrington Field Club still remains below 
fifty, but as it seems to continue to do good work the Committee 
recommend its continuance on the list of Associated Societies for 
another year. 
The Committee desire to record that the hour for meeting of the 
Conference of Delegates has been changed from 3 p.m. to 2 P.M. 
Professor F. O. Bower has promised to preside at the Conference 
of Delegates at Dundee, and to deliver an Address on Sir Joseph 
Hooker. 
Miss A. Lorrain Smith will communicate the results obtained by 
the British Mycological Society from the sending out of a circular on 
certain Fungoid Pests. Mr. A. R. Horwood, of Leicester, will also 
submit a preliminary report of the Selborne Society’s Committee for 
the State Protection of Wild Plants. ; 
The Corresponding Societies Committee recommend the following 
subject for discussion, which has been suggested by Mr. Wilfred Mark 
Webb, of the Selborne ‘Society: ‘ The Brent Valley Bird Sanctuary: 
An Experiment in Bird Protection.’ Mr. A. Newlands, of the Inver- 
ness Scientific Society and Field Club, also will open a discussion on 
Water Power and Industrial Development in the Scottish Highlands. 
The Committee ask to be reappointed and, in consideration of the 
special labour involved in its work during each year, apply for a grant 
of 251.
