Abstract

AT the time of the Paris Exhibition in 1889, several scientific congresses will assemble in the French capital—congresses of zoology, anthropology, physiology, electricity, dermatology, hygiene. The Revue Scientifique expresses a hope that the great congress of electricity in 1881 may betaken as a model for all these assemblies; that attempts will be made, as far as possible, to establish uniformity in scientific nomenclature; and that men of science in other countries will not allow themselves to be deterred by international jealousies from being adequately represented at meetings whose proceedings will relate to matters of universal interest.
