RESOLUTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS. 



The following resolutions and recommendations were referred to the 

 Council by the General Committee at Johannesburg for consideration 

 and, if desirable, for action : — 



From Section A. 



To urge the importance of the establishment, on a suitable site in South Africa, 

 of an observatory for the study of terrestrial magnetism and atmospheric electricity. 



The establishment of such an observatory would add very greatlj' to the accuracy 

 and value of the magnetic survey of South Africa which is now in progress. The 

 Committee desires to call attention, moreover, to the fact that at present there is only 

 one magnetic observatorj-, viz. at Helwan, Egypt, and regular observations in South 

 Africa are much needed for the study of the Earth's magnetism.
