Abstract
THE twelfth general conference of the International Geodetic Association was held at Stuttgart on October 3-12, 1898. Fifteen countries of the nineteen composing the Association were represented. Of the thirty-seven delegates present fifteen came from Germany, five from France, three from Italy, two from Switzerland, two from Japan, and one each from Belgium, England, the Netherlands, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Sweden, Spain, Mexico, and the United States. Besides the delegates, eighteen invited guests appeared, making a total of fifty-five persons present at the meetings. By far the greater part of the time was naturally taken up in reading the regular reports by the delegates on the geodetic work accomplished in their respective countries since the last general conference.
