Abstract
THE preliminary programme of the British Association meeting in Norwich on September 4–11 has now been issued. The president, Prof. W. W. Watts, announces the subject of his address as “Form, Drift, and Rhythm of the Continents”. It would be difficult to conceive a title better capable of intriguing thoughtful laymen. That continents possess form they will no doubt appreciate, but the ideas that continents should drift, and possess rhythm, ought to make them eager to learn. It is to be hoped that it may be made easy for them to do so, for, to say truth, the Association in its endeavours in recent years to apply the advancement of science to the needs of its members, by reinforcing the voices of presidents through amplification, has been singularly ill-served as a rule.
