Abstract
SYDNEY, July 1888. THE formation of this Association, which already gives promise of being a great success, was first suggested by Prof. Liversidge, of the Sydney University, during the Exhibition in Sydney in 1879, but matters at that time not being considered quite ripe for it, the formation of the Association was again brought forward through the press in the year 1884. It was then suggested that, as it did not seem likely that the British Association would see their way to visit Australia during the Centennial year, an Australasian Association should be formed, on the same lines as the British Association, in order to bring about a federation or union of the members of the various scientific Societies throughout Australasia.
