Abstract
THE issue of a programme of business by the committce of the Optical Convention, which is to meet in London on June 19–26 next, marks the entrance of this undertaking upon a new stage in its development. The idea of an optical convention is not new—in fact a meeting, the first of the kind, was held in London in 1905, and it is out of that gathering that the present proposal has grown. The committee has secured support of a substantial kind in the form of a guarantee fund, which puts the undertaking on a secure financial basis and will enable the catalogue and volume of Proceedings to be produced.
