Abstract
THE meeting of the Royal Irish Academy on Tuesday, November 30, was occupied by a commemoration of Charles Darwin, the date nearly coinciding with that of the publication of “The Origin of Species” fifty years before. The president, Dr. F. Tarleton, opened the proceedings, and the following short addresses were given on the influence of Darwin's work:—geology, Prof. G. A. J. Cole; geographical distribution of animals and plants, Dr. R. F. Scharff; zoology, Prof. G. H. Carpenter; botany, Prof. T. Johnson; anthropology, Prof. A. F. Dixon.
