THE BEITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT 
OP SCIENCE. 
, The Association met at Dundee, under the Presidentship of the 
Duke of Buccleuch, on the 4th of August, and continued sitting till 
the 11th. As a whole the meeting was a large and successful one, but 
there was a comparatively small attendance of botanists, and, with one 
or two exceptions, the papers likely to be interesting to our readers 
not of much importance. We give a complete list of them, BBC 
were 
abstracts of several. 
Non\ 
about the middle of August ; and, as it will be presided over by Dr. J. 
D. Hooker, we trust that botanists will show their appreciation of this 
honour done to their science by being present in force and contributing 
papers worth the attention of the assembled savants. If they do so, 
there may be a hope of a separate Botanical subsection, where papers 
would not be overpowered by zoological discussions, nor read to a 
audience indifferent to them.
