Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings and Transactions, Vol. 7: Of the Royal Society of Canada, for the Year 1889 The Royal Society of Canada held its eighth general meeting in the railway Committee room of the House of Commons, on Tuesday, May 7th. The President, Dr. Sandford Fleming, C. M. G., took the chair at 10 o'clock a.m. and formally called the meeting to order. The Honorary Secretary then read the following Report of Council. The Council of the Royal Society have the honour to submit the following Report: - We are glad to be able to state that Vol. VI, of the Transactions, which comprises the proceedings and papers of the meeting in Ma last, is now ready for distribution. The delay in appearance, though the volume is smaller in size, is explained in the following report from the Printing Committee: - Report of the Printing Committee. Montreal, May 4th, 1889. "The Committee beg to report that the volume of Transactions for 1888 is complete and they now present copies to the Society. "The volume is smaller than the previous volumes, but the matter is exceptionally difficult and costly to set, and the correction of the proof has been tedious. "Great and unusual delay occurred in sending in the Mss. The Society has made a rule that all Mss. should be sent in before August 1st, and that the Secretaries of the Sections should furnish before that date a list of all papers to be printed. In Section I, the Mss. and the list were received in July. In Section II, the list was not received until October; the Mss. were also very late, and in any event nothing could be set until the authorized list was received.
