xlii REPORT—1858. 
That the printing of the Observations tz extenso be discontinued, but 
that provision be made for their printing in abstract, with discussion, but that 
the Term Observations, and those to be made on the occurrence of Magnetic 
Storms, be still printed iz extenso ; and that the registry of the observations 
be made in triplicate, one copy to be preserved in the office of the General 
Superintendent, one to be presented to the Royal Society, and one to the 
Royal Observatory at Greenwich, for conservation and future reference. 
That measures be adopted for taking advantage of whatever disposition 
may exist on the part of our Colonial Governments to establish Observa- 
tories of the same kind, or otherwise to cooperate with the proposed system 
of observation. 
That in placing these Resolutions and the Report of the Committee 
before the President and Council of the Royal Society, the continued co- 
operation of that Society be requested in whatever ulterior measures may be 
requisite. 
That the President of the British Association be requested to act in 
conjunction with the President of the Royal Society, and with the Members 
of the two Committees, in any steps which appear necessary for the accom- 
plishment of the objects above stated. 
That an early communication be made of this procedure to His Royal 
Highness the Prince Consort, the President elect of the British Association 
for the ensuing year. 
That the attention of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty be 
requested to the importance of authorizing further researches on the 
depth, temperature, and specific gravity of the Sea, more especially in rela- 
tion to the communications between distant shores by means of Electric 
Telegraph Cables. 
Applications for Reports and Researches. 
That Mr. A. Cayley, F.R.S., be requested, in continuation of his Report 
on the Recent Progress of Theoretical Dynamics, to make a Report on the 
History of certain special Problems of Dynamics. 
That Mr. H. I. S. Smith, M.A., of Balliol College (Oxon), be requested 
to draw up a Report on the Theory of Numbers. 
That Mr. Welsh be requested to draw up an account of the Self- 
recording Magnetical Instruments at the Kew Observatory, and to present 
it to the next Meeting of the Association. 
That Professor Owen be requested to prepare a Report upon the Crania 
of the Native Tribes of the Nepal Hills, in his possession, forwarded to him 
by Mr. Bryan Hodgson. 
That Mr. Foster be associated with Dr. Odling to carry out a reeommenda-

That Dr. Lankester be requested to bring under the notice of the Kew

That the consideration of the Kew Committee be requested to the best 
means of removing the difficulty which is now experienced by Officers pro- 
ceeding on Government Expeditions and by other Scientific travellers, in 
procuring instruments for determinations of Geographical Position, of the most 
approved portable construction, and properly verified. That the interest of 
Geographical Science would be materially advanced by similar measures 
being taken by the Kew Committee in respect to such Instruments, to those 
which have proved so beneficial in the case of Magnetical and Meteorological 
Instruments.
