Abstract
THE sevsnty-third meeting of the German Association of Naturalists and Medical Men lately held at Hamburg was an unusually successful gathering. It will be remembered that it was the existence ot this institution which suggested the foundation of our British Association, the latter being only a few years junior to the former. Though otherwise alike, the two associations nevertheless differ in some important respects, especially in the fact that the German body still unites with its purely scientific work functions performed here by the British Medical Association. Another notable difference lies in the fact that presidential addresses, which form so important a feature with us, are not delivered at the German congress. There are, moreover, no popular lectures of any kind, and it is understood that no one shall attend sectional meetings who is not professionally interested in the matters discussed. A good attendance of men of science is further promoted by the fact that it is the custom of some of the learned societies of Germany to hold their annual meetings in connection with this congress.
