REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1922-23. XV 
Joint Committee for Anthropological Training and Research, on which 
all other bodies concerned in these matters are entitled to representation 
by their delegates. The Joint Committee has already held its first 
meeting, and taken action in matters of immediate concern to the 
constituent bodies. 
VI. Resolutions referred by the General Committee, at the Hull 
Meeting, to the Council for consideration and, if desirable, for action, 
were dealt with as follows :— 
(a) On the instruction of the General Committee, the Council invited 
the co-operation of a number of societies in applying to the Railway Com- 
panies in Great Britain for a restoration of the travelling facilities and 
concessions allowed to members attending scientific meetings before the 
War. The Council were gratified to learn that this had been granted 
to the Association, and returned a vote of thanks to the Companies. 
(b) The Council agreed to support Dr. Potts in an application to the 
Committee of the Institution of Civil Engineers on Sea Action for a 
grant in aid of his investigation into the life-history of Teredo. 
(Resolution of Section D.) 
(c) The Council felt that they could take no action upon a suggestion 
that a fund should be raised for the relief of distinguished aged scientific 
men in need as the result of conditions on the Continent of Europe. 
(Resolution of Section G.) 
(d) The Council, after full inquiry, decided to take no action upon a 
proposal that the Association should join the Museums Association in 
moving for the appointment of a Royal Commission to investigate the 
work of museums in relation to industries and general culture. (Resolu- 
tion of the Committee of Recommendations.) 
(e) The Council made a standing order that if, in connection with 
any application for a grant from the funds of the Association, any 
payment of travelling expenses (fares only) is contemplated, the amount 
to be so allocated must be stated in the application, and the payment of 
such expenses expressly sanctioned by the Committee of Recommenda- 
tions and the General Committee, or, in the event of subsequent 
emergency, by the Council. 
VII. The Council, on behalf of the Association, joined in protesting 
against proposed changes in the Egyptian laws relating to antiquities, 
and received, through the Foreign Office and the High Commissioner, 
the assurance that the Egyptian Government would not modify the 
existing law without further careful consideration of protests received. 
VIII. The President signed, on behalf of the Council, a memorandum 
to the President of the Board of Education, urging that further accom- 
modation should be provided for the Science collections at the Victoria 
and Albert Museum, the Association having been represented in 1909 
on a deputation to the Board dealing with this question. 
__ IX. The Council have received reports from the General Treasurer 
throughout the year. His accounts have been audited and are presented 
_ to the General Committee.
