Abstract
THE fifty-fourth annual meeting of the British Association commenced yesterday at Montreal. About 800 members have arrived in Montreal from England and the interest taken in the meeting both in Canada and the United States is evidenced by the great number of visitors which it has attracted to that city The reception accorded to the Association both by the city and the Dominion is all that could be wished. Montreal itself has raised a fund of 40,000 dollars for expenses, and over 300 members have been received as guests in private houses. McGill College, where the Association meets, has been specially prepared for the purpose, and there is every probability that the meeting will be a success in all respects.
