Abstract
THE members of the Council of the British Association elected at the Glasgow meeting are as follows (the names of new members are in italics): Prof. J. H. Ashworth; Dr. F. A. Bather; Rt. Hon. Lord Bledisloe; Prof. A. L. Bowley; Prof. C. Burt; Prof. E. G. Coker; Prof. W. Dalby; Dr. H. H. Dale; Prof. C. Lovatt Evans; Sir J. S. Flett; Sir Henry Fowler; Sir Richard Gregory; Dame Helen Givynne-Vaughan; Mr. C. T. Heycock; Mr. A. R. Hinks; Sir Henry Lyons; Mr. C. G. T. Morison; Dr. C. S. Myers; Prof. T. P. Nunn; Prof. A. O. Rankine; Mr. C. Tate Regan; Prof. A. C. Seward; Dr. F. C. Shrubsall; Dr. N. V. Sidgwick; Dr. G. C. Simpson. Prof. J. L. Myres and Dr. F. E. Smith have been re-elected general secretaries. During the past year the Council was again deprived of the presence of Dr. E. H. Griffiths, general treasurer, owing to ill-health, but it is gratefully recorded in the Council's report that he did not allow this to deprive the Council of his valuable advice and reports on the finances of the Association. Nevertheless, Dr. Griffiths again tendered his resignation, and the Council, with the deepest regret, felt that he should not again be pressed to withdraw it. In accordance with precedent, the Council consulted a committee consisting of the president, general officers, and ex-presidents, in considering the nomination to be made in the room of Dr. Griffiths, as a result of which Sir Josiah Stamp has now been appointed to the office of general treasurer of the Association.
