182 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION. 
those interested in planting and manufacture to join in giving 
a practical shape to the efforts of the Association for the 
improvement of agricultural and manufacturing operations. 
It was suggested that the title of the Association might be 
altered to the “Scientific and Agricultural Association of 
Trinidad,” and that two sections should be formed, to be 
called respectively the “ Scientific and General Section” and 
the “Agricultural Section.” Members on election would 
state to which section they desired to belong, and the names 
of the members belonging to each section would he arranged 
in a separate list. While the members of both sections 
would enjoy all privileges of attending meetings, receiving 
the published papers, voting, etc., the contributions of the 
members of the agricultural section would, after deducting 
their share of the expenses of printing, meetings, etc., be 
devoted to such objects alone as the members of that section 
might determine, and they might have the power of raising 
among themselves such further contributions as they might 
think fit for the purpose of holding industrial or agricultural 
exhibitions, ploughing matches, or prizes for agricultural or 
manufacturing objects. If the principle of this scheme were 
accepted, the details would of course be matter of arrange- 
ment and discussion.
