Sir  John  Thorold  (Chairman)  sub-

23a,  the  list  which  had  been  prepared 
of  the  Members  of  Council  who  retired 
by  rotation  at  the  Anniveisary 
General  Meeting  next  month,  showing 
the  number  of  attendances  at  Council 
and  Committee  meetings  of  each  of 
such  Members  during  the  past  two 
years.  Two  Members  of  Council  had 
not  given  the  necessary  number  of 
attendances  (two  in  each  year) 
required  by  Bye-law  23b,  and  were, 
therefore,  ineligible  for  re-election. 
There  would  thus  be  four  vacancies 
on  the  Council  to  be  filled  up  at  the 
General  Meeting.  Various  nominations 
for  these  vacancies  had  been  received, 
and  would,  with  any  others  received 
meanwhile,  be  published  after  the 
next  Council  Meeting  on  May  4,  in 
accordance  with  Bye-law  23c.

H.  J.  Loviuk,  Director-General  of 
Agriculture  at  The  Hague,  be  elected
