Abstract
THE British Association will hold its fourth meeting in Dublin on September 2–8 of this year. The three previous meetings took place in 1835, in 1857, and in 1878. The 1878 meeting drew an attendance of 2578, which was well above the average, and it was marked by the presence of an unusually large number of men distinguished in scientific or other work at the time, and since. In his presidential address before the Anthropology Section, Prof. Huxley spoke prophetically about those “who may be here thirty years hence—I certainly shall not be,” little realising how both his prophecies were destined to come true.
