Abstract

The 8 scientific sessions of Commission 9 were organized on the basis of Working Groups by the Chairman of each group. In addition, two Joint Discussion sessions were held with. Commission 12 and organized by R.G. Giovanelli. The business session elected J. Ring as President and E. H. Richardson as Vice President. The Commission voted to drop inactive members as determined from results of a poll of all the membership. Fourteen new members were added. The five Working Groups were continued, the new President to review chairmanship and composition of these groups. Discussion of a new Working Group on Auxiliary Instrumentation showed that the rapid advances in this field and the wide interchange of instrumentation on major world telescopes may make such a group desirable. The President and Comite d’ Organization are to deal with this matter.
