NOTES. 



The Association. 



A MEETING of the Association has not been held since July and 

 the number of members who attended that meeting was not large. 

 A circular was sent to all members in the United Kingdom asking if 

 they would attend a meeting in September: repHes were received 

 from about a quarter and only one member was prepared to attend. 

 The meeting was postponed for other reasons. 



With this issue we complete the first volume of the Annals, the 

 material for the third and fourth numbers being issued as a single 

 part. This has been rendered necessary by events over which we 

 have no control and it is hoped that the first part of the second volume 

 will be issued by the end of March. 



Two features of this issue are of special interest. We welcome 

 the papers by Dr Barber and Mr Anstead deahng with problems of 

 tropical agriculture, and we hope to receive many more contributions 

 from members in the tropics. The second feature is the number of 

 shorter articles and notes, dealing with a wide range of topics. Members 

 will assist the Annals specially by contributing such short articles 



and notes. 



We include in this issue a review ; the publication of critical reviews 

 of important new books should become a feature of the Annals. 

 Volumes for review should be sent to the editor, who will send them 

 on to the member of the Editorial Committee concerned. 



The Annals are sent in exchange to a number of biological publica- 

 tions Members of the Association can consult the journals received 

 in exchange at the Association's Library in the Royal College of Science, 

 South Kensington. The following are received:
