XXXli RESOLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. 



From Section E. 



The Sectional Committee strongly recommends the Council to urge upon the 

 Ordnance Survey the desirability of the early preparation and publication of the 

 survey of the St. Kilda group of islands now practically completed. (Supplemented 

 by Sections C, D, H, K.) 



From Section E. 



The Sectional Committee recommends to Council that the attention of the Scottish 

 Board of Education be drawn to the Report of the Committee on Geography Teaching 

 with a view to the improvement, if possible, of the status of geography in Scottish 

 schools. 



From Section E. 



In the opinion of the Sectional Committee, it is desirable that a Committee of 

 the British Association be formed for the study of coral reefs in the Pacific. 



The Committee therefore supports the recommendation of Section D relative to 

 the Australian Great Barrier Reef Expedition (1928) and hopes that work of a 

 geographical character may be included in the expedition's programme. 



From Section H. 



That the Council be authorised to expend an amount of the Association's funds 

 as may be requisite upon such investigations in South African archaeology as may seem 

 desirable in view of the South African meeting. 



From Section H. 



That the Council be authorised to publish a new edition of ' Notes and Queries 

 in Anthropology,' the cost being defrayed from the proceeds of the sales of the last 

 edition which have been or will be received from the Treasurer of the Royal 

 Anthropological Institute, together with such further sums from the Association's 

 funds as may be required. 



From Section K. 



It is requested that Section K be granted permission to adopt a similar organisa- 

 tion to that of Section A, and to form a separate department to be devoted to the 

 discussion of forestry subjects. (Approved for action.) 



From Section K. 



That the low percentage of productive forest area in Britain is a matter of grave 

 concern, and in the national interest it is urged that afforestation and reafforestation 

 should be largely expedited. It is further urged that encouragement and financial 

 support should be given to the development of silvicultural research and education, 

 as well as to the Empire Forestry Association and other societies participating in the 

 advance of the industry. 



From the Conference of Delegates of Corresponding Societies. 



Preservation of British wild flowers and plants : — ■ 



1. That it is desirable that information should be obtained as to the number of 

 Local Government areas in the United Kingdom and the Irish Free State in which 

 by-laws relating to the destruction of wild flowers and plants at present exist ; as 

 to the terms of such by-laws ; and as to the prosecutions which have taken place 

 thereunder. 



2. That it is desirable to approach educational and other public bodies with a view 

 to securing their co-operation in the protection of wild flowers and forest or woodland 

 trees from fire or other damage.
