Abstract
THE Geographical Society of Paris have decided to avail themselves of the Universal Exhibition at Paris, next year, by convening an International Congress of the Geographical Sciences, to meet in the month of August. There will be two classes of members, subscribing respectively 40 and 20 francs, and each member will be entitled to receive a copy of the publications of the Congress and have a vote in the questions discussed at the meetings. Each Society represented at the Congress will be invited to submit a report on the voyages, explorations, and publications which have most contributed, in the country to which it belongs, to the progress of geography during the past hundred years; the combined reports will afterwards be published with the names of their authors.
