Dr Bennett stated that the cancer committee had been dissolved without arriving at any report. In proposing the formation of that committee, Dr Bennett had conceived it possible for four or five members of the Society, all of whom were acquainted with the present state of our knowledge concerning cancerous and other gowths, to arrive at definite conclusions as to the structure, nature and definition of such formations. He regretted to say that the committee could not come to a unanimous opinion on any one point concerning them, from which might be inferred the excessive difficulty of framing satisfactory conclusions on the subject in the present state of science. He hoped, however, that on some future occasion, when our knowledge was more advanced, some other committee might prove more successful.
