Abstract
THE one hundred and third annual meeting of the British Medical Association was held in Melbourne, Australia, during the week commencing September 9, under the presidency of Sir James Barrett of Melbourne. This is the first occasion on which the Association has met in Australia. In spite of its remoteness from the Old World, the meeting was one of the largest, if not actually the largest, in the history of the Association. The total number of registered attending members was nearly 1,500; and there were more than 300 overseas visitors. Of the many distinguished visitors from Great Britain may be mentioned Lord Horder, Sir James Purves-Stewart, Sir Thomas Dunhill, Sir Ewen Maclean, Sir William Willcox, Sir Henry Gauvain, Prof. Edwin Bramwell, Prof. Hey Groves, Prof. A. M. Drennan, Mr. H. S. Souttar, Dr. J. S. Fairbairn, Dr. Robert Hutchison, Dr. S. Watson Smith (the retiring president), Dr. E. Kaye le Fleming and Dr. E. W. Fish. Members of the Association from South Africa, Egypt, India, Ceylon, Canada, New Zealand, Holland, China and Japan were present.
