Abstract

THE Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science will hold its fourth annual meeting at Hobart in January 1892. The first general meeting will take place on January 7, when Sir James Hector will resign the chair, and Sir Robert G. C. Hamilton, Governor of Tasmania and President of the Tasmanian Royal Society, will assume the Presidency, and deliver an address. Visits to places of interest in the immediate neighbourhood of Hobart will be made during the time when the meeting is being held, and afterwards there will be excursions to different places in Tasmania. Application has been made to the New Zealand Shipping Company, and to Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company, for passages at reduced rates to members of the British Association visiting Tasmania to attend the meeting at Hobart, and it is expected that this will be granted.
