On August 15, 1905, there were gathered in Cape Town, South Africa, about four hundred over-sea members, with a strong supplement of South African members, of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at the opening of its seventy-fifth meeting. The Association has met outside of the British Isles on only two other occasions, at Montreal, Quebec, in 1884, and at Toronto, Ontario, in 1897. The visit to South Africa this summer was, however, a much more exceptional affair than a mere transatlantic jaunt; indeed, it was the largest scientific excursion ever carried successfully through a long-distance itinerary.
