In conclusion, he pointed out that the strength and effectiveness of such unions 

 is largely dependent upon the support they receive from the local societies within 

 their areas. The existing unions, particulars of which are given below, cover the 

 whole of England with the exception of the Midland area previously referred to, and 

 he urged that those local societies not already co-operating with their respective union 

 should affiliate therewith to their own mutual advantage and to the advancement 

 of scientific knowledge and investigation by co-operative and co-ordinated effort. 



The ChaieMan, in summing up what had proved to be an interesting and valuable 

 discussion, reminded delegates of the useful service they could render in reporting 

 these proceedings to their respective societies, in order that the suggestions which 

 had been so well and adequately put before them might be considered with a view to 

 their effective adoption.
