REPORT OF THE COUNCIL
FOR T E E YEAR 1927 [Submitted to the Annual General Meeting. January 18, 1928.7
The year 1927 has been marked by continued progress on the part of the Society, and for the first time since 1919 it is possible to record an increase in the number of Fellows during the year. Events of importance during the year have been an address by Sir Samuel Hoare on April 28, the association of the Society with the Institute of Physics, and the preparation of an Index to the Quarterly Journal for the years 1go1-1g25. On February 2 the Society suffered a great loss by the death of Col. Henry hlellish. who had been closely associated with its activities since 1876 and was President in 1 9 9 and 1910. The Society also lost other valued Fellows in the persons of hIr. F. Campbell Bayard, who was Honorary Secretary from 1892-97 and 1 9 - 1 5 and President in 1898-99, and Dr. J . Brownlee and Mr. C. Harding, both uf whom served on the Council. Another serious loss at the end of the year was the death of Mr. W. H. Dines, F.R.S., which took place on December 24th. Mr. Dines served as President in IQOI
antl 1902, and \\as anarcled the Symons Gold LIetlal in 1914. ’1s a member of several Committees he carried out important research work, chietly in connection with the study of the upper air.
QLIRTERLY JOURSAI. AXI) hIEMoIRs.-The policy of the Council initiated in 1926, of making the QunrterZy lournu1 more attractiLe to the general body of Fellows, antl allotting the more technical papers t o the new series of Menzoirs, has met with widespread approval.
The Council are indebted to two Fellows who have placcd at their disposal the sum of A125 in aid of the publication of the Journal.
The Council made application again this year to the Royal Society for the sum of A-150 from the Government Publication Grant, and are glad to report that the request has been granted.
The continuation of the Memoirs has thus been made possible, and six numbers have been issued during the year.
MEETINGS.-Eight ordinary meetings have been held in the Society’s rooms. The meeting on April 20 was devoted to a discussion of a Report from the Committee on the Relation betn-een Atmospherics and Weather on “ The Range of Atmospherics.” Invitations to attend the meeting were extended t o the members of the Physical Society and t o others interested in the subject and among those taking part in the discussion were: Admiral of the Fleet Sir Henry Jackson, G.C.B.: Lt.-Col. A. G. Lee; Capt. A. G. D. West and Capt. J. A. Slee, R.N. The complete report is
I n addition two special meetipgs were held. On April 28 Sir Samuel Hoare gave an address on his recent flight t o the East, before a large audience of Fellows and their friends. On
printed in the October ]ozmznZ, pp.. 3 2 7- 400.
112 REPORT OF T H E COUNCIL
October 28 Professor W. H. Hobbs gave an illustrated account of his explorations in Greenland.
PHEWLOCICAL REPoRT.-The 36th Report of the Kew Series wras presented t o the meeting in June. Partly in consequence of the publicity given by Mr. Margary‘s broadcast talk in September 1926 the Report is the most complete hitherto published. The Council desire again to place on record their appreciation of the work of Slr. J. E. Clark, Mr. I. D. Margary and Mr. R. Marshall, members of the Phenological Committee.
Frs.\scE.-The accounts for the year are printed at the end of this Report. The credit balance shown is L666 I~s., as compared with cfjo6 18s. in December 1926 and f;@ 1-35. in 19zj. The position of the Society is materially improved by the cancellation of A v in debentures during the year. This has been made possible mainly by the bequest of Esoo debentures from the late Col. Henry Rlelish, and also by a generous donation of A:?oo from hlr. I. D. SIargary to be applied t o the redemption of debentures. The debt a t the end of the year is thereby reduced to &Z,IOO.
I’IILLows.-Particulars a s t o the number of Fellows are given in thc following table :-

Therc is thus an increase of eleven in the number of Annual Fellon-.; in the course of the year, in spite of the removal of names from the register for non-payment of subscriptions. There is a possibility that the membership may be further increased owing to the alteration of the By-laws to permit the election of Institutions and Corporate Bodies as Fellows.
The Council record with much regret the deaths of the following Fellows, the dates in parentheses representing the years of election :-
F. Campbell Bapr t l (1884). C. Harding (1874). Rev. C. W. Bourne (1873). Dr. J. Brownlee (1914). H. Mellish (1879). S. S. Burlingham (1919). Or. H. Cook (1870). Rev. C. E. Sherard (1880). W. H. Dines (1881). 3. Midgley Taylor (1917). Sir Eustace Gurney (~(p)). P. cle J. Grut (1912).

- New Catalogue of Meteorological Instruments from C. F. Casella
A copy has been received from C. F. Casella & Co. of their new catalogue of meteorological instruments (No. j$3) which has recently been published. The catalogue is very nell set out and illustrated, and is quite comprehensive. I t contains sections on most of the well-known meteorological instruments, and in some czses a choice is offered of several different patterns of an instrument. Where necessary, careful notes on the fixing, manipulation and care of the instrument are given. Some rather attractive items are the small pocket sets suitable for travellers and climbers. The catalogue includes a list of charts and tables.
