The Peesidext mentioned that an invitation had been re-- 

 ceived from the American Academy of Sciences to appoint a 

 delegate to attend a Science Congress at Philadelphia on Sep-

 if any South Australian colonist was known to be travelling 

 in that direction, it would be possible to appoint him by 

 telegraph to attend as the representative of the Society.
