RESOLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. XXxiii 



From the Conference of Delegates of Corresponding Societies. 



{«) To invite the scientific societies of Liverpool and District, on the occasion 

 of the British Association's visit in 1923, to consider what further provision, if 

 any, is desirabla for co-operation between them in the advancement of Science, 

 as, for example, for scientific researcli, for the discussion of regional problems, 

 and for the publication of results. 



(b) To invite the Delegates sent to the Conference by the Corresponding 

 Societies to render any assistance in their power in making known, in their 

 respective districts, the objects and methods of the British Association, and 

 to communicate to the .Secretary of the Association the names and addresses of 

 scientific workers and others to whom the preliminary programme of the next 

 meeting should be sent. 



(c) To call the attention of the Council to the inadequacy, discontinuity, 

 and occasional overlap of scientific bibliographies already issued, and to 

 request the Council to consider what steps may be taken, by the Association 

 itself or otherwise, to make more systematic provision for the bibliography of 

 the departments of science represented in the Sections of the Association. 



(d) To request the Council to make known to the principal Government 

 Departments, in any way which may seem desirable, the assistance which may 

 be obtained by them through the local societies in scientific inquiries involving 

 regional distributions. 



(c) To call the attention of Scientific Societies to the necessity of retaining 

 in all offprints from their publications the original numbering of the pages, and 

 of providing full reference to the date, place, and title of the publication from 

 which they are extracted. 



(/) To call the attention of the Council to the value of the Regional Exhibit 

 arraliged for the Hull Jleeting by the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union, and to 

 suggest that it is desirable that such an exhibit should, if possible, be included 

 regularly in the programme of the Annual Meeting. 



(17) To inform the Conference of Delegates that the present practice of the 

 Association is to present a copy of the Annual Report to each Society sending 

 a Delegate to the Conference, recognising the practice by which one Delegate 

 sometimes represents more than one Society, and to recommend that in future 

 no Delegate be entitled to more than one copy, however many Societies he may 

 represent; but that if any Society desires a copy of the Report it may be 

 supplied at the reduced price of ten shillings. 



The General Committee also formulated the following resolution: — 

 That in view of the material hardship imposed upon members attending the 

 meetings of the British Association through the continuance of the unduly 

 high railway charges, it is expedient that the Council should be requested to 

 investigate the possibility of joint action being taken w'itli other kindred 

 associations with a view to obtaining a restoration of the customary travelling 

 facilities and concessions allowed to such organisations before the war.
