Abstract
THE annual sessions of this society, the premier scientific socie in Canada, were held, as usual, in the capital city of Ottawa on May 13-16. The society, which was founded twenty-five years ago by the Duke and of Argyll (the Princess Louise and the then Marquis of Lorne), combines the features of the Royal Society of London and the French Academy. The number of fellows is very limited, and there are four sections, viz. French literature and history, English literature, &c., physics and chemistry, and biology and geology. There was an unusually large attendance from all parts of the vast Canadian dominion, and in Sections iii. and iv. the meetings were regarded as the best ever held.
