Abstract
AS we have said already, while the Nashville Meeting of the American Association could not be called a brilliant one, most of the papers read were of substantial importance, and I show that a large amount of valuable scientific work is being carried on in the United States. The number of visitors does not appear to have been up to the usual mark, mainly, we believe, on account of the great heat which prevailed at Nashville, but among those present were many of the most prominent men of science in America. The reception by the authorities of the State and city was all that could be desired, and the arrangements as to excursions, entertainments, and public lectures were in every way satisfactory.
