Objects of the Association. 



The objects of the Association are to give a stronger impulse 

 and a more systematic direction to scientific enquiry ; to pro- 

 mote the intercourse of those who cultivate science in different 

 parts of the Australasian Colonies and in other countries ; to 

 obtain more general attention to the objects of science, and a 

 removal of any disadvantages ot a public kind which may 

 impede its progress. 



The Seventh Session of the Association will commence in 

 Sydney on January fith next, and last till the following Thurs- 

 day. The meetings of the Association have hitherto been 

 very successful, and there is every reason to believe that the 

 forthcoming gathering will be equally well attended. It will 

 be held during the Christmas and New Year vacations of the 

 Universities and Colleges, which it is hoped will be a convenient 

 time for a very large proportion of the members to attend.
