Gentlemen,— I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th 

 instant, conveying the resolution carried by the members of your Society at 

 the Annual General Meeting in respect to the late Charles Moore, and 

 I now desire to return thanks on behalf of myself and the other relatives for

The following report was presented by Professor Liver- 

 SIDGE at the Annual General Meeting, 3rd May, 1905 : — 

 International Catalogue op Scientific Literature. 



In 1903 I was appointed by the Council of this Society acting 

 as the Regional Bureau for New South Wales, to represent this 

 State at the Council Meetings held in London in May last. I duly 

 attended the meetings and now have the honour to make the follow- 

 ing report. The Royal Society of London commenced the work 

 by compiling Catalogues of Scientific Papers (printed between 

 1800 and 1883) in twelve large quarto volumes, the first volume 

 of which was issued in 1867. In it the titles are arranged solely 

 under the authors' names. A catalogue of the papers published 

 since, i.e., between 1884 and 1900 is now in hand, and a subject 

 index is also nearly completed.
