Abstract
THE fourth International Congress of Zoologists, under the patronage of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and the presidency of the Right Hon. Sir John Lubbock, Bart., M.P., F.R.S., which met last week at Cambridge, may be chronicled as a success, as well from the social as the scientific point of view. The discussions were animated, the sectional papers of general interest, and the attendance was large and representative. The severity of the zoological discussions was relieved by frequent social festivities, of which the reception at the Guildhall by the Mayor of Cambridge on Monday, and the open air party at the Botanic Gardens on Thursday afternoon, were especially noteworthy.
