Abstract
SIR ERNEST RUTHERFORD, in his presidential address at the anniversary meeting of the Royal Society on Nov. 30, referred to the scientific careers and work of the twelve fellows and three foreign members who died during the year. Among other subjects surveyed in the address are the publication of the Society and the attendance at the ordinary meetings. Sir Alfred Mond, on behalf of Impeiial Chemical Jndustries, Ltd., has offered a subscription of £1000 a year until further notice to help to meet the deficit on the publication account, in substitution of that of £500 a year for three years made by Messrs. Brunner, Mond and Co. in 1925; and the Council has gratefully accepted the gift. Since the War “ there has been a notable increase in the number of papers published by the Society. This is specially marked in the ‘A’ Proceedings, where, in place of one volume a year before the War three or four volumes now appear, the separate numbers being issued with promptness and regularity.”
