' Notice to Contributors of Memoirs. — Authors are reminded that, under an 

 arrangement dating from 1871, the acceptance of Memoirs, and the days on which 

 they are to be read, are now as far as possible determined by Organizing Committees 

 for the several Sections befoi-e the beginning of the Meeting. It has therefore become 

 necessary, in order to give an opportunity to the Committees of doing justice to the 

 several Communications, that each Author should prepare an Abstract of his Memoir, 

 of a length suitable for insertion in tlie published Transactions of the Association, 

 and that he should send it, together with the original Memoir, by book-post, on or 

 before , addressed thus — 'General Secretaries, British Associa- 

 tion, 22 Albemarle Street, London, W. For Section ' If it should be incon- 

 venient to the Author that his paper should be read on any particular days, he is 

 requested to send information thereof to the Secretaries in a separate note. Authors 

 who send in their MSS. three complete weeks before the Meeting, and whose papers 

 are accepted, will be furnished, before the Meeting, with printed copies of their 

 Reports and Abstracts. No Report, Paper, or Abstract can be inserted in the Annual 

 Volume unless it is handed either to the Recorder of the Section or to the Secretary, 

 before the conclusion of the Meeting.
