Abstract
WEDNESDAY. THE British Association meeting at Ipswich has now practically come to an end. The stream of strangers which set towards the town a week ago shows signs of retiring, and, in the course of a day or two, the ancient and interesting county town of Suffolk will have returned to its normal condition. The meeting has been a very pleasant one for all, and the delightful weather of the past week has naturally attracted a large attendance at each of the many enjoyable excursions to places of interest in the surrounding country. The Association has often met in places far richer in educational and scientific institutions than Ipswich, but it has rarely met in a centre within easy reach of picturesque scenery offering more facilities for geological observation, or possessing a greater abundance of objects of interest to students of antiquities. This, combined with the fact that papers of extreme value have been communicated to each of the Sections, will make the meeting memorable to all who have attended it. As we shall follow our usual custom of giving reports of the work done in the Sections, it is unnecessary here to do more than refer to one or two of the papers and discussions which have excited general interest.
