 correspondence with the South African Association for the Advancement 

 of Science. They had also an opportunity, kindly arranged by Lord 

 Bledisloe, of meeting General Hertzog, the Prime Minister of the Union 

 of South Africa, and of discussing with him the prospects of, and arrange- 

 ments for, a meeting in South Africa. The General Secretaries have 

 further collected particulars as to dates, duration and extent of the 

 journey, costs of transport and maintenance, etc., and a separate report 

 upon these will be furnished to the General Committee at the Leeds

 invitation and recommends the General Committee accordingly.
