Abstract
WE had but just time before going to press last week to indicate the general arrangements made for the reception at Swansea of the British Association. We have now to chronicle the events of the meeting which, although small, has not been destitute of many points of interest. The actual number of members arid associates in attendance has been smaller than is shown by the returns for many previous years. This is probably accounted for by the geographical isolation of Swansea and the smallness of its population; but there are doubtless other collateral causes—such, for example, as the coincidence of the meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute at Düsseldorf—which have contributed to discourage a large attendance.
