DescriptionFoster's letter with an application from Mr George Murray for a grant of £300 from the Council towards the expenses of an expedition for the exploration of the intermediate depths of the ocean was considered by a joint meeting of the Botany and Zoology Committee.

They are not prepared to support the application on the terms stated in Foster's letter.
