Abstract
THE fifty-third congress of the Association of German Naturalists and Physicians has been held at Danzig during the past week. At the first general meeting on Saturday, September 18, Dr. H. Abegg, who filled the post of president, in a brief speech of welcome to his colleagues expressed his pleasure at finding that the congress was so numerously attended. There had been fears that Danzig, owing partly to its somewhat isolated position, would have kept many from visiting it who would otherwise have come, had the point of meeting been fixed in a more southerly part of Germany. But these fears were wholly groundless; from far and near he was rejoiced to see additions to their body; and to all and each of his esteemed colleagues he bade liearty welcome.
