Abstract
Aberdeen, Monday THERE have been few meetings of the British Association so crowded with papers in nearly all the sections. On Saturday several sections met which, unless under the greatest pressure, never meet on that day. Section D has been compelled to split up into three subsections, and probably most of the sections will have to meet on Wednesday morning. The social distractions have been much more numerous than usual, and we suspect have somewhat seriously interfered with the legitimate work of the meeting. As might be expected, the Music Hall was crowded on Wednesday evening last to hear the President's address, which seems to have produced a great impression on the audience.
