Abstract
THIS conference was presided over by Sir Edward Brabrook, C.B., who fitly represented those societies which have recently been brought into relationship with the British Association under the title of “Associated Societies.” These comprise such local bodies as exist for the encouragement of the study of science, but are not at present in a position to undertake and publish original investigations. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, dwelt on the useful work which these modest societies might accomplish, and suggested various ways in which local societies, whether belonging to the affiliated or to the associated class, might aid those sections of the British Association in which he was specially interested, namely, the sections of anthropology, economics, and educational science.
