Abstract
A FEATURE of the meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science is the number of affiliated societies which meet at nearly the same time and place, though having no organic connection with it. One disadvantage of this is that the Sections of the Association do not get many of the important papers read before the affiliated societies; in fact these societies seem almost to take the place of the Sections, and they certainly tend to put the Association in a secondary position. As a large number of the papers were more of local than of general interest, we confine ourselves to a brief statement of the societies which met at Springfield during the recent meeting of the American Association, and of a few of the subjects considered.
