Abstract
IN arranging the programme of work for the South African meeting, the organising committee of Section E tried to secure papers summarising the geographical conditions of the “subcontinent,” as it is locally called, or those dealing with general geographical problems. The number of papers by South Africans was smaller than might have been expected, the local committee discovering that geography was the subject for which it was most difficult to secure papers. South Africa is in the position of having many specialists interested in geographical aspects of their specialisms, but has as yet no geographers giving all their time and energy to the subject.
