Abstract
Brisbane, September 4. THE final session of the Australian meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science was held in Brisbane on August 27— September 1. It had been arranged that of the 320 visiting members of the Association, a party of one hundred should visit New Zealand after the close of the Sydney Session, and that the remainder should visit Brisbane, where the final official business would be transacted. Unfortunately the state of war in which Australasia in common with the rest of the Empire is involved, interfered somewhat with this arrangement. The cancellation of the New Zealand meeting caused a number of those, who would otherwise have gone to the Dominion, to express a desire to visit Brisbane instead. At the same time the utilisation of the R.M.S. Orvieto as a transport caused a number of people who had intended retutning to England in her to shorten their visit to Australia.
