Abstract
THE annual May conversazione of the Royal Society was held in the rooms of the society at Burlington House on Wednesday, May 7. During the evening lantern demonstrations were given by Mr. Leonard Bairstow illustrating cases of eddying fluid motion of interest in aëronautical research, and by Dr. A. Smith Woodward on the discovery of a palæolithic human skull and mandible at Piltdown, Fletching, Sussex. Many objects and instruments illustrating recent scientific methods and results were exhibited, and most of them are described in the subjoined summaries from the official catalogue. Exhibits referring to related branches of science have, so far as possible, been grouped together.
