Abstract
THE opening meeting of the Royal Society on Thursday last was attended by a numerous assemblage of men of science, especially attracted by the announcement that Dr. Carpenter, representing a committee consisting of Professor Wyville Thomson, Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys, and himself, would communicate the results of the deep-sea dredging explorations, carried out in the course of the past summer and autumn in the Porcupine, a vessel expressly fitted out and placed by the Government at the disposal of the committee for this purpose.
