In this connection the Council are of opinion that rules 5, 6 and 7 of the rules of the Society may suitably be amended so as to confer on the Council the power of election of members, in view of the delay involved by the procedure prescribed in the existing rules.

3. Read the annexed list of 7 candidates for membership of the Society. Resolved that the names be approved :—

4. Considered the rough draft of the annual report of the Council for the year 1915 prepared by the General Secretary. After discussion of the draft, it was resolved that it should be passed as amended by the Council.

5. Considered a suggestion that invitations for the annual meeting of the Society should also be issued to selected nonmembers. The Council are of opinion that the General Secretary, when issuing invitation to the members of the Society for the annual meeting to be held on the 24th January 1916, should request each member to state whether he will be able to attend, and also to state whether he would like to bring with him any one or two non-members as visitors, and if so, to give the names and addresses of the latter, so that cards of invitation may issue to them so far as space permits.

6. The Council desire to suggest that that part of Rule 53 which provides that ordinary meetings of the Society shall be held once a quarter might suitably be modified so as to prescribe that at least two ordinary meetings of the Society shall be held each year, one in the beginning, and one towards the end, of the cold season, so that papers passed by the Sub-Committees may be read and discussed. The Council make this suggestion in view of the fact that under present provincial conditions it will probably be found impracticable to hold a meeting of the Society every quarter, and also because they feel that many papers might be offered which would be suitable for reading and discussion, though not ripe for publication in the Journal,

held at Government House, Bankipore, on the 24th January, 1916.
