Abstract
CANADA is giving a warm reception to the members of the British Association who have gone over to attend the Toronto meeting. A large number of members arrived in Montreal on Monday, and there was a reception at the McGill University, at which about two hundred persons were present. The Times reports that the visitors were received by Vice-Principal Johnson, the Governors, and the Fellows, and were conducted in parties over the University, its fine collections, laboratories, &c. Luncheon was served in Molson Hall, and the President of the Governors proposed the toast of the Association. Lord Lister responded, and Sir John Evans proposed the toast of the University. The National Anthem was sung, and afterwards the company drove in carriages to Mount Royal, where a reception was held, which was much appreciated by the Association.
