M. Bosler in the absence of Prof. Stroobant, presented the President’s report as printed in the reports (pp. 21-23).

A resolution presented by Mr F. de Roy, on behalf of the Belgian National Committee of Astronomy, on the question of filling the gap between the Bibliographie générale of Houzeau and Lancaster (1880) and the Astronomischer Jahresbericht (1899) was endorsed and adopted.

The Commission further expressed a hope that Prof. Stroobant would be enabled to complete and publish his work of bringing the “Vade Mecum” of Houzeau (1882) up to the date of the Astronomischer Jahresbericht.
