The Dundee Meeting of the British Association

Abstract

AFTER a lapse of little short of fifty years, the British Association is to meet again this autumn in Dundee, on September 4–11, under the presidency of Prof. E. A. Schäfer. The former meeting in 1867 was a distinguished and memorable one, and many of the most eminent men of the time took part in it, among others Sir R. Murchison, Sir Charles Lyell, Sir David Brewster, and Sir William Thomson; Prof. Sharpey was president of anatomy, Sir Samuel Baker of geography, and Mr. Archibald Geikie of geology.
