valuable. At both congresses special bronze medals were given to each member, 

 at Heidelberg one from the Grand Duke of Baden with the portrait of Helmholtz, 

 and at Amsterdam one with the portrait of the Queen. The social part of both 

 congresses was well conducted, and the short resumes of papers that are given 

 above can do no more than indicate the diversity and interest of the full programs 

 in both series of meetings. In Heidelberg many of the papers were chemical in 

 character and not of special interest to comparative or human neurologists. In 

 Amsterdam there were some few psychological papers and discussions, and one 

 section was devoted to the consideration of questions dealing with the care of the 

 insane. It is expected that the proceedings of the congressof psychiatry, neurology, 

 psychology and the care of the insane will be published, but there will be no official 

 report of the proceedings of the congress of physiologists.
