Abstract

THE British Section of the International Memorial to Pasteur has now assumed definite shape, and the Provisional Committee, which already includes the names of the Dukes of Devonshire and Westminster, and many distinguished men of science from all parts of the United Kingdom, held its first meeting last Friday, at the rooms of the Royal Society, Burlington House, under the presidency of Sir Joseph Lister. It was unanimously decided to apply for subscriptions towards the erection of a monument to Pasteur in Paris, from persons in the United Kingdom, India and the Colonies, interested in science and the various industries which have been benefited by Pasteur's labours. An Executive Committee was formed, consisting of Sir Joseph Lister, Sir John Evans, Sir Henry Roscoe, Dr. Thorne Thorne, and Prof. Percy Frankland (Hon. Secretary). Subscriptions may be sent to Sir John Evans, who will act as Hon. Treasurer, at the Royal Society, Burlington House, W.
