Abstract
THE ninth International Congress of Zoology i terminated its session under the presidency of his Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco at Monaco on Saturday, March 29. Altogether, the meeting was an unqualified success, not only on account of its numbers, which, as already stated, were greater than on any previous occasion, but also for the general interest of the contributions, which, although no single one can be selected as absolutely outstanding, were all of very high quality, and demonstrated the result of much serious and useful work by zoologists during the past three years. The beauties of the Cote d'Azur doubtlessly attracted many from northern lands, and although the weather was not all that could be expected for the Riviera at this season, yet the rather copious rainfall settled and washed away the dust and refreshed the herbage, which was the more brilliant during the intermittent periods of bright sunshine. The chief attraction, however, was the noble Oceanographical Museum, which crowns the cliffs of the rock upon which the town of Monaco with its palace is situated, and the fact that the congress was to hold its chief meetings within its precincts, with its founder as their president.
