Ixxii PROCEEDINGS. 



scientific paper, even if not on a subject bearing on Nova Scotia. 

 The motion was seconded by Dr. A. H. MacKay and sup- 

 ported by Dr. E. MacKay and Prof. Moore. Mr. Piers 

 opposed the motion, holding that the Transactions, as has 

 been the ruling practice in the past, should continue only 

 open to papers dealing more or less distinctly with Nova 

 Scotian subjects, except in such essentially non-local depart- 

 ments as phj'-sics, chemistry, physiology, etc.; other non- 

 local papers, when deemed worthy, being printed in the Pro- 

 ceedings. 



Dr. Cameron finally modified his motion to read thus: — 

 "Resolved that the N. S. Institute of Science throw open its 

 Proceedings and Transactions to papers in all departments 

 of science, provided they are contributed by persons working 

 in Nova Scotia." The motion passed, Mr. Piers dissenting 

 if the motion was construed as authorizing the publication in 

 the Transactions of communications having no local bearing, 

 except in the case of such subjects as had been previously 

 referred to.
