Abstract
JUDGING by the continued interest displayed in J the meetings of Section A during the recent visit of the British Association to Edinburgh, the proceedings of this section may be accurately described as very successful. Four strenuous mornings were devoted to the formal work of the section, yet the meeting-place was frequently overcrowded, and, even at the very end of the session, the audience numbered about eighty. There can be no doubt that the policy of the Association in encouraging joint discussions between the sections has met with general approval. Section A participated in two of these, both proving of absorbing interest. It is true that the time occupied by the joint meetings put a severe strain upon the rest of the sectional programme, which was undoubtedly too large, consisting of no fewer than twenty-nine items. This led to the necessity of adopting the somewhat undesirable practice of splitting up frequently into sub-secttons; and the question of the limitation of the programme in future years is well worthy of consideration.
