XXXVI. ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. 



A discussion on Military Hygiene was opened by the 

 following members, who dealt with that aspect of the 

 subject shown after their names. 



Sir T. Anderson Stuart — The necessity of some organ- 

 isation for the teaching of Personal Hygiene to men in 

 training. 



Mr. Algernon Peake, m. inst. ce. — Water Supply. 



Mr. Houghton, m. inst. ce. — Sanitary Services and disposal 

 of wastes. 



Dr. Cleland — Protection against disease. 



After His Excellency the Governor and some other 

 members had contributed to the discussion, the meeting 

 adjourned for a month. 



At the adjourned meeting, held at the Royal Society's 

 House, on 12th October, 1915, the discussion on Military 

 Hygiene was continued by various members, including Drs. 

 Guy Griffiths, H. G. Chapman, O. Savill Willis, and 

 Mr. Houghton. At this meeting, Colonel Stokes, a.a.m.c, 

 gave a very interesting account of Military Hygiene as 

 actually carried out under war conditions at Gallipoli. 



The Royal Society is to be congratulated on the successful 

 inauguration of the new Section of Public Health and 

 Kindred Sciences. It is, however, necessary to point out 

 that this Section will almost certainly have a struggle for 

 existence for the next year or so, owing to the fact that 

 many of the Society's members likely to be interested in 

 the Section are at present away with the Expeditionary 

 Forces.
