A few of the above expressions might, perhaps, be written in still better 
forms. Furthermore, it is quite possible to write an integral with limits 
in a more condensed and more convenient form than it usually has. Thus 
The first, or usual, form occupies, vertically, the space of two lines. 
The proposed form occupies but one line.

The Committee on Almanacs recommends to the American Section 
that its delegates to the Brussels meeting of July 18, 1919, be instructed 
to endeavor to secure the adoption by the International Astronomical 
Union, of the Report of the Committee on Beginning the Day at Mid- 
night adopted by the American Astronomical Society in August 1918.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MERIDIAN ASTRONOMY 
The experience gained through the application of photography to the 
determining of stellar positions demonstrates that it is advantageous 
* It may be noted that an integral with limits always involves a double line ; so that 
the ordinary notation for fractions involves no additional use of "spaces" beyond those 
required for the integral in any case.
