The British Association

Abstract

TORONTO, August 18. WE are now at the opening day of the meeting, and the various parties of members have converged upon Toronto from different directions. The President, the President-elect, and a number of others, including most of the sectional officers, crossed in the Parisian, leaving Liverpool on August 5. During the voyage an Anthropometrical Laboratory was opened, and the heads of the Parisians were duly measured and recorded. Townets were worked continuously day and night from the Irish Sea to the St. Lawrence, so as to obtain a section across the plankton of the North Atlantic.
