Abstract
At the meeting of the general committee on Friday, September 6, it was unanimously resolved “That the best thanks of the British Association be expressed to Dr. J. K. Caird for his most generous gift to the Association.” Speaking to the motion, Prof. Perry, the general treasurer, said:—“This is the only gift of money that the British Association has ever received. It is greatly needed. In my eight years of office as treasurer the nominal assets of our Association have neither increased nor diminished. I have made the fat years of our visits to large cities make up for the lean, years of our visits to smaller towns. But although our nominal wealth is the same, our actual wealth is less because of the depreciation of Consols and our other investments.
