Abstract
THE smoothness with which the complicated arrangements for the reception and housing of so many guests were carried out, and the kindness and hospitality of the welcome extended to them, formed a good augury for the success of the sixth International Congress of Zoology, which opened at Berne on Monday, August 15. On the previous day the members, gathered from many parts of the world, were received by the reception committee at the railway station, and invited afterwards by the Mayor of the city to a “symposium” in the “Kornhauskeller.” The gaiety of the assembly, which did not break up until a late hour, formed an agreeable prelude to the work of the congress, which was throughout interspersed with pleasant entertainments.
