REPORT OF THE 



METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER— YORK, 1S42. 



At the last Annual Meeting, the Council were authorized to 

 present an mvitation to the British Association for the advancement 

 of Science, to hold their Meeting for 1 843, in this City, provided 

 they saw reason to believe sufficient money could be raised for 

 defraying the attendant expenses. In compliance with this resolution, 

 the Council lost no time in making application to the Members of 

 this Society and to the Friends of Science connected with the County, 

 for their support, and finding that ample funds might be depended 

 upon, they appointed a deputation of their body to attend, and 

 present the invitation to the Meeting at Manchester. The invitation 

 was presented, but owing to urgent solicitations on the part of 

 the inhabitants of Cork, the Association determined that its next 

 Annual Meeting should be held in that City. The Council, however, 

 have strong reason to hope, that should the present Meeting authorize 

 them to renew their invitation, for the Association to meet in York 

 in 1844, that body will be induced to accept it ; and we shall once 

 more have the high honor and gratification of welcoming within our 

 walls, a Society which had its origin amongst us, and which may now 

 be justly considered as the first and most influential body of Natura- 

 lists and Philosophers the vrorld can boast.
