Abstract
WE refer elsewhere to the opening of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition on Tuesday. It argues ill for the spirit in which this Show is to be conducted that the representatives of British science, on which the progress of England beyond the seas has so largely depended in the past and must depend in the future, were so conspicuous by their absence at the opening ceremony. Not even the President of the Royal Society was invited to be present, though tickets were liberally distributed to a large number whose prior claims we do not care to discuss.
