Abstract
THE proceedings of this Section were commenced by the delivery of the presidential address by Prof. W. M. Hicks. In seconding the vote of thanks to the President, Prof. Fitzgerald referred to the possible change of mass with temperature, suggested in the address, and pointed out that such a phenomenon would show itself by a deviation of planetary motions from strict conformity to Kepler's laws, owing to their change of mass on cooling.
