Abstract
THE session of this young Association which has just been concluded at Lyons appears to have been altogether successful, and according to the Reports read the Association is in an exceedingly prosperous condition, both as to number of members, income, and the carrying out of the scientific aims which it has in view. The number of members who attended the Lyons Congress was very satisfactory. The capital fund at the end of 1872 was 136,464 francs, and the income for 1873 is expected to be 24,000 francs. One of the aims of the Association is to give an impulse to Science in the provinces, and, as we recorded some time ago, the members of the Association resident about Bordeaux have formed a local association, and it is hoped a similar result will follow in the case of each town where the yearly meetings are held. The Association has received invitations for its next session from various French cities, and it has been decided to hold the meeting of 1874 at Lille. M. Wurtz was elected President for the ensuing year.
