A few questions relating to the observing programme of parallax observers and to catalogues of proper motions for fainter stars were discussed and the following recommendations were passed:

1. (1) “That parallax observers are requested to publish the basis of selection of the stars of their observing programmes.”

2. (2) “That the authors of lists of large proper motions should give more attention to the problem of identifying difficult and interesting stars (for instance by sketches of the surroundings).”
