The Commission first took up the question of the inclusion in their subjects of the Zodiacal Light and related phenomena, and in particular the brightness of the night sky, which had been referred to them by the General Assembly. After some discussion, the following resolution, proposed by the acting President, and seconded by Dr Bosler, was adopted: 1. While, in conformity with the motion voted by them at the Harvard Meeting (Transactions, 4, p. 245), this Commission still consider that it is not desirable that Comets should be added to their subjects, they suggest that, since several of theirmembers, active in the field of meteors, are also working on the problem of Zodiacal Light, the latter subject, and related phenomena, might be handled by a Sub-Committee of Commission 22.
