Abstract
THE president's address—which was postponed until Friday, September u, in order to avoid the hours fixed for the opening addresses in the other biological sections—dealt first with the inadequacy of the public provision made for. the advancement of zoology and its applications in this. country, and secondly with some considerations bearing on the problems of variation and heredity, more especially as seen in the Coelenterata. In fact, influenced no doubt by the personal work of the president, a considerable number of the communications brought before the section this year dealt with the Ccelenterata, especially with corals and coral reefs.
