In September Owen paid one of many 
delightful visits to his friend Mr. (afterwards Sir 
John) Fowler at Glen Mazeran, near Inverness. 
His letters are full of the pleasure which he 
derived from his visits there, and the enjoyment 
with which he entered into the fishing and shoot- 
ing expeditions. On this occasion he went from 
Glen Mazeran to the British Association Meeting 
at Aberdeen, which, under the presidency of 
Prince Albert, to whom Professor Owen resigned 
the chair, was a great success. 
On September i8 he writes to his wife 
‘ The rush for admission cards ( i /. Associates) 
to see and hear the President was such that, at 
twelve, it was reported to me that 1,900 had been 
issued. Now, there were at least 500 regular 
members of the Association ; so, knowing the 
spirit of a Scotch mob (pardon me, Jessie !®), who 
might have paid for their tickets, and can’t find 
seats or standing-room, I signed and issued an 
order that no more Associate tickets were to be 
issued after the No. 2,000 had been reached. . . . 
Well, at half- past seven we rose from table, 
were marshalled to our carriages, and returned to 
® Daughter of Dr. Farre, who was staying with Mrs. Owen.
