Abstract
APPARENTLY for the first time in the course of its hundred and six years of existence, no fewer than seven sections of the British Association united in a joint discussion on the last evening of the recent Nottingham meeting. The subject was "Planning the Land of Britain" and the chairman was Lord Trent. Symposium would be a more apt description than discussion, for there was no time for any discussion after the seven sectional representatives had each delivered his contribution. The result, however, was instructive ; it became very clear that each of the sciences has a definite contribution to make to the general problem, but that there is a considerable divergence both in point of view and objective—differences which point the need for further discussion.
