Abstract

THERE is little to add in reference to the arrangements for the Glasgow meeting of the British Association to the information we published some weeks since (vol. xiv., p. 170), Everything has evidently been done by the local secretaries and committee to render the meeting a success so far as they are concerned. The class-rooms at the University, where the sections, with one exception—the Geographical—will be accommodated, have been for some time in the hands of workmen, and the necessary alterations will be completed in good time, The lower hall of the museum, which is situated a little to the east of the north or main entrance of the university, will be fitted up as the reception-room, and in connection with this will be the post and telegraph offices, general inquiry office, a stall for the disposal of newspapers and scientific literature. In this portion of the building there will also be located the offices and rooms of the local committee, and a ladies' retiring-room. Adjoining the reception-room will be the ticket-office, and from this will be the entrance to the refreshment-room. The sections will be distributed over the university, and the local committee contemplate issuing a diagram of the building, showing the class-rooms allotted to each department and their situation. The arrangements have been carried out so that the committee-rooms will adjoin all the sections. At the Queen's Rooms the arrangements are well forward for the accommodation of the Geographical Section.
