Abstract
A RETROSPECT. FROM every point of view the visit of the British Association to Edinburgh has been an unqualified success. With the exception of the last day of the meeting the weather was highly favourable; and even on that day the rain was confined to the early forenoon hours. Every morning the reception room, the old Parliament Hall, was crowded with members whose eager happy looks showed that they were enjoying the meetings to the full. The citizens of Edinburgh gave themselves up to the spirit of scientific gaiety, and the visitors heartily responded. Every section had its own devoted band of disciples; and what specially impressed those who remembered the last Edinburgh meeting in 1892 was the proportionately greater number of women members. This, of course, added a brilliancy to the gatherings, particularly when two or more sections met for a common discussion.
