Resolutions referred to the Council for consideration, and, if desirable,

From Sections D and E. 



That it be recommended to tlie Council that a grant of £100 from the Caird 

 Fund be made to Dr. W. S. Bruce for the upkeep of the Scottish Oceanographical 

 Laboratory. 



From Section K. 



That the Council be recommended to ask the Government to make Section K a 

 grant of 500 reprints of a list of economic plant products which has been prepared 

 by Sir David Prain and is shortly to be published in the Kew Bulletin. 



From Section L. 



The Committee of Section L has evidence that the separate issue of the sectional 

 transactions has been of considerable utility both during and after the Meetings, 

 and it regrets their discontinuance. While recognising that there are special diffi- 

 culties as regards printing and paper at the present time, the Committee hopes that 

 the Council will resume next year the publication of the sectional transactions 

 containing the President's Address, Reports of Committees, and Abstracts of 

 Papers.
