Abstract

THE Times of Tuesday last contained a letter, signed by Profs. M. Foster, E. Ray Lankester, and G. B. Howes (Hon. Secretaries to the Provisional Committee), with reference to the General Committee now being formed for the purpose of establishing a memorial of the late Prof. Huxley. The letter states that H.R.H. the Prince of Wales has been pleased to become the Honorary President of the Committee. No very active steps can be taken until after the autumn recess, when the General Committee will hold its first meeting, probably in October. The Honorary Secretaries will after that report the progress that has been made both in this country and abroad, and a list of the complete Committee and a statement of the subscriptions received will be published. Appended to the letter is a list of an enormous number of names of persons who have already signified their desire to serve on the Committee.
