Abstract
THE seventy-first annual meeting of the British Association came to an end yesterday. For the purposes of the meeting the entire accommodation of the College Buildings was placed at the disposal of the Association by the University authorities, while for the opening meeting the St. Andrew's Hall was granted by the Corporation. Between 2000 and 3000 persons attended at the St. Andrew's Hall to hear the opening address of the president, Prof. A. W. Rücker, F.R.S. The retiring president, Sir William Turner, F.R.S., took the chair and introduced his successor, who afterwards delivered the presidential address, which was printed in last week's NATURE; and on Thursday morning the work of the sections commenced. Reports of the proceedings of the sections will appear in these columns as in previous years.
