Abstract
A MELANCHOLY interest attaches to the anniversary meeting of that ancient scientific society, the Reale Accademia dei Lincei, held in June, from the fact that the society was then mourning the loss of its distinguished president, Prof. Beltrami, and has since been plunged into deeper mourning by the untimely and unexpected loss of its patron, King Humbert, who with Queen Margherita had for many years taken part in these yearly meetings. It is, moreover, largely due to the munificence of the late King of Italy that the society is enabled to further the advancement of science by the award of prizes for theses dealing with some subject of scientific research.
