about equally divided between members aud 

 local associates, who subscribe for the meet-

 than that of our own association. We publish 

 above the first part of the address of the presi- 

 dent, Professor Dewar, and hope to publish 

 subsequently several of the addresses of the 

 presidents of the sections and a report of the 

 scientific proceedings. As already reported 

 Sir Norman Lockyer was elected president. 

 Dr. J. S. Garson, was made assistant general 

 secretary in the room of the late Mr. G. Grif- 

 fith, and Major P. A. McMahon, general secre- 

 tary, in succession to Sir William Roberts- 

 Austin. New members of the council are Sir 

 W. Abney, Professor A. C. Haddon, Mr. C. 

 Hawksley, Professor G. B. Howes, Professor 

 W. W. Watts and Professor D. J. Cunning- 

 ham. The meeting next year will be at South- 

 port, and the following year at Cambridge. 

 It is expected that the meeting in 1905 will 

 be in South Africa.
