Yoor Committee (consisting of Sir William Church (Chairman), Sir E. Douglas Powell, Dr. Champneys, Dr. Garrod, Dr. Head, Mr. Langton, Mr. Goodsall, Mr, Makins, and Mr. Symonds, together with Dr. Latham and Mr. Pendlehury as honorary secretaries) held its first meeting on February 8th, 1906, when Sir F. Treves (who to the Committee’s regret was unable to serve). Dr. Allchin, Dr. Frederick Taylor, and Mr. Laurence Bead were co-opted members. Your Committee carefully considered the replies re- ceived from the various Societies, which had been re- quested to give their views on the report of the Committee of Eepresentatives of December 19, 1905, and appointed delegates to meet delegates of these Societies, to negotiate with regard to any points of difference. The reports of these delegates were considered, and the suggested regu- lations on page 4 et seq. form the basis of what your Committee believes will be acceptable to the larger num- ber of Societies.
