The Council.

Since the last Annual Meeting the Council has met ten times for the conduct of the business of the Association.

The vacancies caused by the retirement of E. W. H. Holdsworth, Esq., and of G. J. Romanes, Esq., F.R.S., were filled in July by the election of Sir Albert Rollit, M.P., and of S. J. Hickson, Esq., D.Sc. No changes have occurred during the year among the Officers.

The Council has to acknowledge the courtesy of the Royal Society in granting the use of its rooms for the several meetings of the Association.
