Abstract
THE mathematicians and physicists of the British Association could not have had better accommodation than that which was placed at their disposal in Edinburgh. The physics lecture-room of a University, with its appropriate fittings and appliances, is their ideal environment. Almost all the leading British physicists were present, the chief absentee of note being Lord Rayleigh, and foreign men of science were well represented by such men as Profs, von Helmholz, Wiedemann, Ostwald, and Du Bois, from Germany; M. Guillaume, from France; Schoute, from Holland; and Michelson, from America.
