Abstract
THE Australian Government has decided not to proceed further at present with the proposal to invite the British Association to meet again in the Commonwealth. As it is desired, however, that leading men of science should from time to time be afforded opportunity to visit Australia, it has been decided to issue invitations to a party of six to attend the jubilee meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science at Canberra in January 1939. It is hoped that the precedent so set will become regular practice at each succeeding biennial meeting of the Association. A grant of £A1,500 towards the expenses of the guests in 1939 has been promised by the Government.
