EDITORIAL NOTE. 



Owing to the visit of the British Association to South Africa 

 in 1905 the usual sectional meetings of the South African 

 Association for the Advancement of Science were not held that 

 year. The proceedings of the Meeting at Johannesburg were 

 limited to the annual business session, and at a later date the 

 President delivered his official address. The Report of the 

 proceedings was issued to Members, in due course, in pamphlet 

 form, but to secure preservation and facilitate reference it is also 

 incorporated with the proceedings of the 1906 Meeting in the 

 present volume. 



The individual authors are alone responsible for the statements 

 or opinions advanced in the several papers.
