Abstract
THE eighteenth meeting of the Australasian T Association for the Advancement of Science was held in Perth during the week commencing on Monday, August 23, but was extended in the form of excursions well into September. As this was the first time the Association had consented to visit Western Australia, special efforts were made to induce members from the other Australian States and New Zealand to attend the meeting. The State Government of Western Australia granted £1,200 for printing and publishing, and offered free transit over the State railways to all visiting members; and the Australian Commonwealth Government was induced for the first time to contribute towards the general expenses of the meeting the sum of £750, out of which travelling allowances were paid to members of known scientific standing who came to Perth over the Transcontinental Railway. Furthermore, private hospitality during the meeting was arranged in Perth for all members from other States who would accept it, and on most of the excursions members were carried free.
