pointed a committee to assist the Registrar in preparing a 
new edition of the Register P 
Mr. Field moved the renewal of the allowance of 1(XV. to 
the Secretary for the ensuing year. 
Mr. Robinson seconded the motion. 
The President said he should put the motion as a matter of 
course, although he was certain that there would not be a 
dissentient voice present : for himself, he should merely ob- 
serve that if any obligation existed in connection with the 
proposed grant, it was rather on the part of the Council than 
the Secretary. 
The motion was adopted unanimously.

respecting the fees paid to the Board of Examiners, wdth 
reference to the increase thereof ; and by Prof. Simonds , re-
