Abstract
SINCE the annual meeting of the British Association at Dundee in the year 1939 was brought to an abrupt end by the imminence of war, it has been neither desirable nor possible to bring members together for another meeting of the usual kind in Great Britain or overseas. Even now, a year after the armistice, conditions are such that accommodation for all the sections of the British Association and their members at Newcastle or Birmingham, where, but for the War, we should have met in 1940 and 1941, is impracticable, on account of the devastation which these cities have suffered ffom enemy action. Next year, however, the series of annual meetings which was begun in 1831, when the Association was founded, will be resumed at Dundee, and the broken parts of the chain will again be linked together.
