Abstract
THE Permanent Committee of the International Committee of Weights and Measures is now holding its meeting at Sèvres, near Paris. The Committee includes: Dr. Foerster (Germany); M. J. Bertrand (France); Dr. Benoît, Director of the Bureau at Sèvres; Mr. H. J. Chaney (Great Britain); Prof. Govi (Italy); Prof. Krusper (Hungary); Prof. Lang (Austria); Mr. H. de Macedo (Portugal); M. Stas (Belgium); Prof. Thalen (Sweden); Dr. Wild (Russia). The Committee has recently lost its President (General Ibañez); and one of the objects of the present meeting is to elect a new President; an election which will doubtless fall on the senior member of the Committee, Dr. Foerster.
