12 JOURNAL AND PROCEEDINGS 
REPORT OF COUNCIL 
1904-1905. 
Your Council take pleasure in submitting the following re- 
port: 
There have been ten meetings of the Council, about half of 
which number were devoted to the consideration of the pressing 
needs for enlarged accommodation for the increasing museum 
and the crowded gatherings. 
We have not yet succeeded in finding available premises 
more suitable than those at present occupied, nor are there 
discernable indications of immediate change, concerning which 
the feelings are more favorable, if possible, than at the beginning 
of the year. 
We hope our Municipal Committee may succeed in provid- 
ing more commodious quarters for the coming session. 
One of the fathers of our Association (Mr. Witton) has 
been much missed from our Council Board this winter. We 
sincerely wish he may soon be restored to health and activity, 
and that we may long benefit by his superior judgment and 
generous assistance as in the past. 
Of the Association we have the pleasure of reporting the 
following ten very successful meetings, viz.: 
Nov. 10—Opening meeting—President’s Inaugural Address 
on War—assisted by the Photo, Astra., Biol., Geo. Sections, mak- 
ing it the most varied and complete in recent years. 
Nov. 30—Art School Request. 
Dee. 18—Prof. DeLury—Eclinses. 
Jan. 19—Chas. B. Fox, B.A.—Chemistry Applied to Industry. 
Feb. 16—J. B. Turner, M. A.—Probable Course of Evolution 
in Plants. 
Feb. 28—Prof. Warner—Panama Canal. 
March 9—Prof. Coleman— Conquest of Wild Canada.
