PROCEEDINGS, 
the local scientific Societies printing papers or reports bearing on meteorological 
subjects to forward a copy of the same to the Royal Meteorological Society, 
70, Victoria Street, Westminster, S.W. (if they do not already do so), to insure 
the titles being included in the ‘ International Catalogue.’ ” 
I may add to this that the Linnean Society is collecting for this 
‘Catalogue’ the titles of all papers with any botanical information 
which are published in Britain, and that copies of all such papers 
should be sent to the Society at Burlington House, W. ; and also 
that the Zoological Society is similarly collecting titles of zoological 
papers, copies of which should be sent to that Society at 3, Hanover 
Square, W. 
Section C ( Geology ) was represented by Mr. Lamplugh, who 
referred to the work of several Committees of that Section. Of 
these our Society can aid, and has aided, the Committee for the 
registration of geological photographs and that for the registration 
of erratic blocks. 
Under Section D ( Zoology ) the Bev. T. B. B. Stebbing said that 
he was a Committee appointed to investigate the underground fauna 
of Great Britain, and he asked for well-shrimps and other fresh¬ 
water crustaceans living in wells to he sent to him, in spirit or 
formalin, addressed to Ephraim Lodge, Tunbridge Wells. 
Under Section E ( Geography ) Mr. E. Heawood, M.A., contributed 
the following list of subjects for research in connection with local 
geography 
Correlation of physical surface-features with geological structure. 
Evolution of river-systems. 
Belation of physical factors to distribution of population. 
Distribution of vegetation, and the relation of plant-formations 
to their environment. 
The distribution of zoological groups in connection with 
environment. 
While the study of representative types of Insecta and Mollusca 
from this point of view was specially recommended by biologists, 
it might, he said, he made equally interesting from the point of 
view of geography. 
Professor Weiss, D.Sc., E.L.S., on behalf of Section K (Botany), 
stated that the Committee of this Section was being greatly aided 
by local Societies. He asked for help in two new researches, for 
Mr. Alfred Eriar on the British species of Potamogeton, and for 
Miss Ethel Sargant on the British orchids. 
Miss Sargant explained that she wished for information on 
plants with underground growth, especially as to whether their 
leaves last longer than their flowers, and whether the plants are 
reproduced to any extent by seed. 
Some other subjects were brought before the Conference, and on 
the whole the proceedings were perhaps of more varied and more 
practical interest to the Corresponding Societies than on any 
previous occasion.
