Abstract
NOTWITHSTANDING the comparatively small numbers attending the meeting of the association at Portsmouth, the audiences in Section H, which met under the presidency of Dr. W. H. R. Rivers, F.R.S., were well up to the average, at any rate in the morning sessions. In the afternoons the attendances were sometimes small, owing, no doubt, to the attractive nature of the local arrangements for the entertainment of members. In the circumstances it was thought advisable to abandon the sectional meeting on the afternoon of the naval display, and to adopt the unusual course of holding an evening session. The wisdom of the change was made apparent by the large audience which listened to the postponed papers by Mr. R. R. Marett and Prof. A. Keith.
