—TuE late meeting of thc American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science was an occasion of instruction and pleasure to all con- 
cerned. The hospitality of the citizens of the beautiful city of Spring- 
field and the generally delightful weather, contributed much to the 
comfort of the visitors. The excursions to points less remote than usual, 
were, on this accoynt, more enjoyable. The leading club of the place 
gave a unique entertainment, furnished by the talent of the members. 
The only regrettable feature was the small attendance, less than four 
hundred members having been present. As the locality was accessible 
to the most populous region of the country, this absence of many of our 
best-known cultivators of science excited comment. Such a consider- 
able number of our best zoologists remained away from the meeting that 
the section of zoology was reduced to a fragment of what it should 
had been. A considerable number of the geologists failed to attend 
most of the sessions of their section.
