ConcLUDING GENERAL MEETING. 
The Concluding General Meeting was held in Convocation Hall on 
Wednesday, August 13, at 5.30 p.m., when the following Resolutions were 
adopted with acclamation :— 
1. The British Association for the Advancement of Science most warmly thanks the 
University of Toronto and the Royal Canadian Institute for the invitation which has 
led to the brilliant Meeting now concluding; and in particular to the University for 
placing at the disposal of the Association its meeting-rooms, residences, and other 
resources. Gratitude is also due to the Governments of the Dominion and of the 
Province of Ontario, the City of Toronto, and private donors, for their generous contri- 
bution of funds toward the expenses of the Meeting. Those of the members who are 
about to take part in the Western Excursion have further to express their obligation to 
the Western Provinces which have contributed toward the cost of the excursion. The 
best thanks of the Association are due to members of the University faculty, the staff, 
and others, who have laboured unsparingly in the organisation of the Meeting; and it 
has also to acknowledge the generous hospitality of numerous institutions and indi- 
viduals. The large attendance of citizens, whose presence has so greatly contributed to 
the success of the Meetings, is deeply appreciated ; as also are the able support afforded 
by the Press and the unfailing assistance of transport companies and other authorities. 
2. The best thanks of the British Association are accorded to the American Associa- 
tion for the Advancement of Science for its cordial and effective co-operation. 
After the above Resolutions had been proposed and answered, the 
President brought the Meeting to a conclusion with an expression of thanks 
to Canada. 
1 The American Association distributed some 17,000 of the British Association’s 
circulars to its members and those of societies in correspondence with it, and took 
every possible measure to ensure a large and representative attendance of American 
men of science at the Toronto Meeting. It was resolved that Members of the 
American Association taking the $5 ticket for the Meeting should receive the Report, 
if desired, without further charge.
