Abstract
ON Friday and Saturday last, June 24 and 25, joint meetings of the Aristotelian Society, the British Psychological Society, and the Mind Association were held at 22 Albemarle Street, London, at which subjects of wide philosophical and psychological importance were discussed before large and interested audiences. The discussions were based upon papers previously printed and circulated among the members of the several societies. On Friday afternoon the problem of “Instinct and Intelligence “was considered on the basis of papers by Messrs. C. S. Myers, C. Lloyd Morgan, H. Wildon Carr, G. F. Stout, and Wm. McDougall; Saturday morning was devoted to the discussion of the question, “Are Secondary Qualities Independent of Perception? “on the basis of papers by Messrs. T. Percy Nunn and F. C. S. Schiller; and the congress was brought to a close on Saturday afternoon with papers on the nature and development of attention, by Mr. G. Dawes Hicks; the “faculty “doctrine: outline of some experiments on school children in relation to this doctrine, by Mr. W. H. Winch; and some observations on the aesthetic appreciation of colour combinations, by Mr. E. Bullough.
