Abstract
THE Dover meeting was characterised by the unusual quantity of solid work in physical geography and mainly in oceanography, including polar research, which was brought before the Section. Travel papers were less numerous than usual, though certainly of no inferior type, and the use of the lantern to illustrate nearly every communication added both to the interest and the value of the expositions. The hall was illsituated and not well adapted for the purpose it was called upon to serve, and this unfortunate environment, not any falling off in the quality of the papers, accounted for the remarkably small audiences, which were the subject of general remark.
