Abstract
THE sixty-sixth session of this Society was held early in the month of August of the present year in the city of Zurich. The proceedings cf the various Mathematical, Physical, Chemical, Zoological, Botanical, and Medical Departments are somewhat fully reported in the Archives des Sciences Physiques et Nuturelles, Geneva, October 15. On August 6 a preliminary meeting was held of the delegates of the Cantonal Sections and Special Committees, and next day the session was formally opened in the Town Hall under the presidency of Prof. Cramer. The two ensuing days were devoted to the work of the several Sections, all of which were well attended by numerous Swiss and foreign savants, brought together by the double attraction of the Helvetic Society and the National Exhibition, which was also held this year in Zurich.
