Abstract
AT the Oxford meeting the popularity of the Geographical Section showed no abatement. Crowded meetings were the rule, even when papers of a severely scientific character were being read. This may be explained to some extent by the favourable situation of the section-room in close proximity to the reception-room; but perhaps the general use of lantern illustrations had more to do with it. By means of effective lantern diagrams the audience was able to follow with interest and pleasure, papers on detailed oceanography and climatology. The characteristic of the meeting may be given as the general high level of the papers offered, and the interesting discussions to which they frequently gave rise.
