PRESIDENTS ADDRESS. 15 



Smith, have been selected ; while several have offered their services 

 for the citizens' lectures, but a final choice has not yet been made. 



From a scientific standpoint, the gathering will be the most 

 brilliant ever assembled in Australia; and, as many of our visitors 

 will be engaged in lecturing on their return, it will be seen that the 

 assistance, which has been granted to this Association by the vari- 

 ous Australian Governments, must meet with ample reward. 



The remainder of the Address was devoted to a consideration 

 of the relations of the Permo-Carboniferous fauna of Australia 

 to those of other parts of the world; and will appear later in 

 separate form.
