Abstract
THE arrangements of the Local Committee are nearly completed for the reception of the British Association on the occasion of its fifty-ninth annual meeting, which, as our readers are aware, is to be held in Newcastle-on-Tyne, and will commence on September 11. This will be the third occasion on which the Association has held its annual Congress in Newcastle-on-Tyne, the last being in 1863—a meeting memorable as being the largest gathering of members and friends of the Association, which has only been once exceeded in point of numbers, viz. by the Manchester meeting of 1887. No efforts have been spared on the part of the Committee to make preparations for a meeting which, it is hoped, will prove as successful and interesting to the members as the former meeting proved; and in their endeavours to do this, the work of the Committee has been greatly facilitated by the many notable additions, in the shape of buildings suitable for the purposes of the Association, which have been erected since 1863.
