Abstract
DESPITE the fact that the Dover meeting was a comparatively small one, the chemists formed a thoroughly representative gathering, including amongst distinguished foreigners Prof. Lemoine, of Paris; Prof. Fittig, of Strassburg; and Prof. Ladenburg, of Breslau The able address of the President, Dr. Horace T. Brown, on the assimilation of carbon by the higher plants, which embodied most valuable and original contributions to the knowledge of the complex changes which go on in the living cell, introduced a subject somewhat beyond the usual scope of the proceedings of the Section; and whilst the chemists present at Dover will always look back upon the address with a special appreciation, they will be equally mindful of the many interesting contributions on kindred subjects for which the personality of the President was in the main responsible.
