___ 1. British Association.—The twenty-second meeting of the British 
Association opened at Belfast on the Ist of September. The Report of 
Dr. Royle, the General Secretary, states that the recommendation of 
the Council in favor of the publication of Mr. Huxley’s zoological and 
anatomical researches, made during the voyage of H. M.S. Rattle- 
snake, failed of obtaining an appropriation from the government, the 
past year, and the Council recommend that the application should be 
repeated ; also, that Dr. Hooker is already engaged under government 
in arranging his materials on the Botany of India for publication, and 
the first of the three volumes will not be ready before November, ; 
_ also, that Capt. Strachey has assistance from the government to enable 
him to publish his Explorations in the Himalaya mountains and in 
Thibet, with maps and illustrations. The method of investigating the 
tides of the Atlantic and a plan for the same, recommended by the 
Council, is next given in this Report. Among the foreign correspond- 
ing members added this year to the list, we observe the names of 
G. P. Bond and Dr. Asa Gray of Cambridge.
