During its present session the Council has again been deprived of the 

 presence of Dr. E. H. Griffiths, General Treasurer, owing to ill-health, but 

 it is gratefully recorded that he has not allowed this to deprive the Council 

 of his valuable advice and reports on the finances of the Association, which 

 have been presented on his behalf by Dr. F. E. Smith as acting treasurer. 

 Nevertheless Dr. Griffiths has felt it necessary again to tender his resigna- 

 tion, and the Council, with the deepest regret, feels that he cannot again 

 be pressed to withdraw it. In accordance with precedent, the Coimcil has 

 consulted a committee consisting of the President, General Officers and 

 ex-Presidents, in considering the nomination to be made in the room of 

 Dr. Griffiths. 



XV. The following have been admitted as members of the General 

 Committee : Dr. T. F. Chipp, Mr. Thurkill Cooke, Dr. Donald Patton, 

 Mr. A. Lennox Stanton. 



XVI. Consultation has taken place with authorities in York as to the 

 possibility of holding the Centenary Meeting of the Association there in 

 1931. The Council, though appreciating the powerful sentiment which 

 would attract the Association to its birthplace on this occasion, cannot but 

 foresee difficulties associated mainly with the problem of housing a large 

 number of visiting members at places distant from the city. The matter 

 will be brought to the consideration of the General Committee at the 

 Glasgow Meeting, and a possible alternative will be put forward.
