Abstract
THE week's meeting of the British Association at Portsmouth has now drawn to a close, and some general impressions of the gathering may not be out of place. In the first place, the weather conditions in Portsmouth, as in most other parts of the United Kingdom, have been exceptional as regards absence of rain and high thermometric readings. Only on one day has rain fallen during the whole of the week, which, speaking off-hand, has probably been a very rare occurrence even during the eighty odd years of the association's existence.
