Abstract
THE 55th Session of this Society was held at the ancient city of Fribourg on the 19th, 2oth, and 21st of August last, and of it we have again to tell of an overwhelmingly hospitable reception by “our hosts of Fribourg;” a well-attended opening address by the President, Dr. Thurler; sectional séances, at which many valuable papers were read, followed by fruitful discussions; a final general meeting to listen to something that would interest all, and then the dispersion. This Society appears to be satisfactorily accomplishing its professed aim of increasing the interests of the people generally in scientific studies, of establishing intimate and familiar relations between men of science engaged upon the same subject, and of fostering a harmonious spirit of labour all over the country. We give an abstract of the report contained in the Bibliothèque Universelle.
