The Australian and New Zealand Association Jubilee Meeting

Abstract

THE jubilee meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science, founded on the model of the British Association, has just ended after a most successful week of addresses and discussions at Canberra (January 11-18). It is the first time that the Association has met at the capital city of Canberra, and the meeting was probably unique by reason of the high ratio of visiting men of science to local members. Usually the meetings take place every two years at the big Australian and New Zealand cities in turn, where the visitors are lost in the large populations. Canberra is still a small garden city, and the problem of housing more than a thousand visitors was no small one.
