Those whose names are in italics were requested to take 

 charge of the constitution of the respective committees and to 

 start the work, so far as this was possible, before the close of the 

 Congress. 



Professor Showky Bakir asked that copies of the above list 

 might be circulated to all the Delegates at an early date ; 

 Mr. Dorph-Petersen promised that this should be done. He 

 then raised the question of the method of expressing the results 

 of comparative tests carried out at the request of the Association, 

 and the Congress agreed that the method used during the last 

 three years should continue to be employed. 



The question of the venue of the next Congress having been 

 reached, Miss Yeo proposed, in view of the collaboration 

 between the Association and the International Agricultural 

 Institute, Rome, that the next Congress should be held in Rome. 

 Mr. Dorph-Petersen intimated that, during his recent visit to 

 Rome, the Secretary-General of the I.A.I. , Dr. Dragoni, had 

 suggested that the next Congress should be held in Rome, and 

 that Sir Daniel Hall, who attended the Congress on the first 

 day as a representative of the I.A.I. , had promised that an official 

 letter would be sent in due course inviting the Congress to meet 

 in that city. 



The Delegates unanimously agreed that the invitation of the 

 I.A.I, should be accepted with thanks ; and after some discussion 

 it was agreed that the next Congress should he held in Rome during 

 the first half of May, 1927, the precise date to be fixed later by 

 the Executive Committee. 



On behalf of himself. Professor Munn and Mr. Brown, 

 Mr. Clark thanked the Association for permitting North America 

 to take part in the defiberations of the Congress. 



The Congress agreed that a letter of thanks should be sent 

 to the Council of the National Institate of Agricultural Botany 

 for permitting the Congress to meet in such pleasant surroundings, 

 and in recognition of the services rendered by Mr. W. H. Parker 

 (Director), Mr. F. C. Hawkes (Assistant Director), and Mr. A.
