iS95. THE ZOOLOGICAL CONGRESS. 335 



met with any serious difficulties, and these difficulties were not, to say 

 the least of it, removed at the meeting of the British Association at 

 Ipswich when the matter was discussed. 



It is interesting to note, therefore, that when the scheme was 

 introduced by Professor Bouvier at Leyden it was received with 

 enthusiasm, and the resolutions pledging the meeting to support its 

 general principles were carried unanimously. It is most sincerely to 

 be hoped that the English opposition will now cease, and that the 

 naturalists of our country will join with their colleagues abroad in 

 giving the proposed bureau their hearty support. 



Another important resolution concerning the regulations for the 

 transmission by post of living and dead animals was also passed 

 unanimously.'
