Abstract
THE Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science held its fourth annual meeting at Hobart, Tasmania, from January 7 to 14 inclusive. The meeting was in every way successful, and the proceedings afford ample and most satisfactory evidence that much excellent work is being done among our Australasian kinsfolk in every branch of science. The President was His Excellency Sir Robert Hamilton, Governor of Tasmania. The people of Hobart accorded to the members of the Association a most hearty welcome, and did everything in their power to make the occasion a pleasant and memorable one. Visitors from a distance had the advantage of being able to travel both by sea and land at greatly reduced fares, and everything of scientific interest in Tasmania was clearly explained for them in a capital hand-book issued from the Government Printing Office. Mr. Robert Giffen attended the meeting, and was cordially received. He delivered a lecture to the members of the Association on “The Rise and Growth of the British Empire.”
