Abstract
IN arranging the programme for the Sheffield meeting the organising sectional committee had made it the main object to discuss broader questions of interest to other sections rather than to encourage the reading of papers appealing mainly to specialists; further, in view of the special character of the industries of Sheffield, much of the programme was devoted to metallurgical subjects. The results of the meeting fully justified this departure, and the three joint discussions not only proved of the greatest interest, but were most stimulating in character; inde'ed, it is probable that in two cases, at least, they will serve as points of departure for much new research. The metallurgical papers were equally stimulating and in harmony with the tone set by the president's address—the meeting as a whole should do much to inspire the filling of some of the gaps in our knowledge to which Mr. Stead made reference.
