THE CARDIFF MEETING OF THE BRITISH 

 ASSOCIATION 



AccoEDiNG to an article in the London 

 Times the arrangements for the 1920 meet- 

 ing of the British Association, which opens at 

 Cardiif on August 24, are well advanced. 

 The inaugural meeting will be held in the 

 Park Hall on the evening of the opening day, 

 when Professor W. A. Herdman, ex-general 

 secretary, will assume the presidency in suc- 

 cession to Sir Charles Parsons. 



Professor Herdman in his presidential ad- 

 dress will give a general survey of the subject 

 of oceanography, dealing in detail with cer- 

 tain special problems and recent investiga- 

 tions with particular reference to sea fisheries. 

 On Thursday evening, August 26, an address 

 will be delivered by Sir Eichard T. Glaze-

 Director of the ISTational Physical Laboratory. 

 The subject has not yet been fixed. The 

 second evening discourse is to be delivered by

 Board of Agriculture since 1917, whose sub- 

 ject will be "A grain of wheat from the field 

 to the table." 



The president of the mathematical and

 before the public as a leading protagonist in 

 the discussion on the Einstein theory of rela- 

 tivity. Dr. F. A. Bather is to be the presi- 

 dent of the geological section, and his address 

 will discuss the general problems of paleon-
