The Committee expressed its appreciation of the value of the work done by Prof. Seares, while President of the Commission, in the direction of establishing the relations between various other catalogues and the International System.

The relations given by Prof. Seares, in the Draft Report, between the International System and the catalogues that have appeared during the last four years, form a new and very important contribution to this fundamental problem. But nothing in science can be definitive. The formulae given by Seares will be subject to modification by more extended discussion: they must be regarded as provisional; the Committee decided to place them in an appendix to the main report.
