xl REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 
(4) ‘ That a grant of £100 for the coming year be made to the 
Committee on Seismological Investigations from the Caird 
Fund, and that the Council be asked to consider the 
advisability of endowing the Committee by a capital sum 
yielding an annual income of £100.’ 
It was resolved that a grant of £100 for the coming year be made 
to the Committee on Seismological Investigations, and that a grant of 
£100 be made annually in future to the Committee, subject to the 
adoption of its annual report. 
(b) An application to the Council from the ‘ Scotia’ Publication 
Committee (Scottish Antarctic Expedition) for a grant of £400 from the 
Caird Fund towards the expenses of the publication of the ‘ Scientific 
Results of the Voyage of the ‘‘ Scotia’’’ was considered, and it was 
resolved that the application could not be entertained. 
IV. Resouvutions referred to the Council by the General Committee 
at Birmingham for consideration, and, if desirable, for action, were 
dealt with as follows :— 
From Sections A and EL. 
“That the terms First Order, Second Order, Third Order, and 
Fourth Order of triangulation, as connoting definite degrees 
of precision, be used to describe triangulation even though 
the terms now in use (e.g., Major, Minor, &c.), which have 
only a local significance, are also employed.’ 
‘That this resolution be communicated through the proper 
channels to (a) the Geodetic Association, and (b) the Institute 
of Surveyors.’ 
The Council approved the principle of the above resolution, and 
resolved that Professor H. H. Turner and Captain H. G. Lyons be 
appointed a Committee to communicate, in the name of the Council, 
with the Geodetic Association and the Institute of Surveyors. The 
Committee duly carried out this instruction. 
From Section I. 
‘The Committee of Section I requests the Council of the 
Association to forward to the Board of Trade the following 
resolution :-—— 
(i) That Colour Vision Tests are most efficiently conducted 
by means of what is known as the “‘ Lantern Test.”’ 
(ii) That the best form of such lantern has not yet been 
finally decided upon, and can be arrived at only after 
further expert report. 
(iii) That the actual application of sight tests requires the 
co-operation of an ophthalmic surgeon with a practical 
navigator.’ 
The Council, after careful consideration and consultation among 
members specially interested in this question, resolved to take no action.
