Abstract
THE Winnipeg meeting of the British Association has been a complete success. Hundreds of citizens of Winnipeg, together with representatives of science in Canada, the United States, and Great Britain, filled the Walker Theatre when the presidential address was delivered by Sir Joseph Thomson on August 25. Mr. Francis Darwin, the retiring president, was unable to be present, but he sent a letter, which was read by Prof. Carey Foster, expressing the hope that the meeting would be worthy of its distinguished president. The addresses of presidents of sections were delivered on August 26 and 27, and we are able to print two of them this week, with a summary of the lecture delivered by Dr. A. E. H. Tutton on the former date. We have been forced, however, to omit parts of Prof. Armstrong's long address to the chemical section in order to find space this week for Dr. Smith Woodward's address to the section of geology.
