Abstract
AT the distribution of prizes the Ordnance Survey obtained a letter of distinction, although it was not an exhibitor. It is the only instance in which such an honour was awarded. M. Ouatrefages, in the name of the governing body of the society, awarded two exceptional prizes, one to MM. Payer and Weyprecht for the discovery of Francis-Joseph Land, and the other to M. Delaporte for the foundation of the Cambodian Museum at Compiègne. Admiral la Roncière, le Nourry closed the meeting by a very impressive address reviewing the characteristics of the Congress.
