11. On the report of Section J, that the committee on psycho- 
physical research be reappointed without a grant. 
12. This Committee does not recommend that the report from 
Section C, Geology, re the use of the photographic camera in topo- 
graphical and other surveys be forwarded to the Governments of the 
other Australasian colonies, 
13. This Committee recommends, on the report of Section G, 
Economic Science Division, that the following committee be appointed 
to consider the suggestions contained in Sir Samuel Griffith’s paper, 
entitled “A Plea for the Study of the Unconscious Vital Processes in 
the Life of a Community,” and to report how far it is practicable, by 
the compilation of statistics, to give effect to any of those suggestions ; 
such committee to consist of Professors Scott and Anderson, Sir 
S. W. Griffith, Dr, Belcher, and the Government Statisticians of the 
Australian colonies, and that Mr. L. E. Groom be Secretary to the 
Committee. 
Dr. Sprlxgtltorpe asked why the recommendations of the 
Committee of Section I, Sanitary Science and Hygiene, were not 
adopted. 
The President then put the question — “That the report of the 
Recommendation Committee be received, save the contentions issues 
raised by the committee of Section I ” — Carried. 
The Permanent Secretary explained that the reason for not 
endorsing the recommendations of the Committee of Section I was 
that they raised such momentous issues that it was deemed advisable 
to postpone consideration of them to the next meeting. 
Dr. SrEiKGTHOKPE said he regretted to appear to oppose the 
report of the Recommendation Committee in any way, but lie had 
no alternative. The question was whether these issues should be 
dealt with now or deferred. lie considered the Committee of the 
Section, consisting largely of medical experts, was the best judge. 
To put the matter in definite form, lie would move, “ That the recom- 
mendations of the Committee of Section I be adopted.” 
Dr. Hard ie seconded the motion. 
Mr. Shirley hoped that no antagonism whatever existed 
between any sections of the Association. They should remember that 
the resolutions they were asked to pass dealt with much contentious 
matter. 
Dr. Springtiiorpe spoke in reply. 
The resolutions were amended to the effect — (1) That a system 
of compulsory notification of infectious diseases be introduced ; (2) 
That a system of federal quarantine is desirable, and that the various 
Governments be approached to that effect ; (3) That stock, the 
milk or flesh of which was intended for consumption, should be 
examined by duly qualified men, and slaughtered if found tuberculous 
or cancerous. 
As amended, the resolutions were put to the meeting, and 
carried. 
On the motion of Mr. H. C. Russell, it was resolved that the 
next meeting of the Association be held in Sydney, two years hence.
