Abstract
THE final stage of the labours of the Treasury Committee, to which we have made frequent reference, has now been reached. The Royal Society has been appealed to to nominate the new council; they have done so, and the Government has accepted the nominations, which are as follows:—Prof. H. J. S. Smith, Savilian Professor of Geometry in the University of Oxford and Keeper of the University Museum (Chairman); Prof. Stokes, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in the University of Cambridge, and Secretary of the Royal Society; Dr. Warren de la Rue, Mr. F. Galton, and Gen. Strachey, Member of the Indian Council. In addition to these there is Capt. Evans, the Hydrographer of the Navy, as an ex-officio member.
