Abstract
Arrangements for the Meeting. THE Birmingham meeting of the British Association next September promises to be a notable one. Already more members have agreed to attend than has been the case at the corresponding period for the last few years, and the secretaries expect that the number both of local and of visiting members and associates together will reach 3000. But size, though an element in rendering the meeting notable, is not of the first importance, and it is the importance of the pronouncements made during the sessions which more than anything else stamps a meeting as of signal value. This may well be the case in Birmingham. The most important statement of the meeting is usually the presidential address, and since as president we are to have the principal of the Birmingham University, we may expect that Sir Oliver Lodge will deliver a notable pronouncement.
