BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—The association opened
six of its lecture bazaars at eleven o'clock this morning ;
but the attendance was in most instancy very limited.
In fact, up to nine o'clock last night only 187 members
had arrived. It is to be hoped that a great addition to
the number will be made in the course of the day. The
subjoined sketch will show how the morning has been
occupied :
SECTION A.—MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE.
The papers read here, as their titles will show, were of
a very technical and uninteresting character. They were
as follows :
Erman, Professor.—Report on Gauss's Magnetic
Constants.
Powell, Professor.—On the Bands formed by partial
Interception of the Prismatic Spectrum.
Laming, Mr. Richard.—On the Constitution and
Forces of the Molecules of Matter.
Hartley, Mr. J. G.-0a the Variation of the Mag-
netic Needle. •
Towler, Mr. G.—On Magnetic Causation and Intrinsic
Forces.
SECTION B.—CHYMICAL SCIENCE, INCLUDING ITS APPLI-
CATION TO AGRICULTURE AND THE AP.TS.
The list here also was unpromising to the general
reader:—

Osborne, Mr. Henry.—On the Action of Water in the
Suburbs of Southampton on Lead.
West, Mr. William% F.R.S.—On the Use of stating,
with the results of.A.nalyses, the nature oki,he Methods
emplo) ed.
Hunt, Mr. Robert.—Report on the Actinograph.
Hunt, Mr. Robert.—Notices of the Progress of
Experiment on the Influence of Light on the Growth of
Plants.
SECTION C.—GEOLOGY AND PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
The first paper read in this room was by Mr. R.
Keele, "on the Artesian Well on the Southampton-
common." This excited some local interest, and the
attendance was large. The Marquis of Northampton
took occasion to congratulate the Southampton members
on the advantage to be derived from the visit of the Geo-
logical Section of the association. The lecture was short,
but a very long discussion ensued. It appeared that
nearly 20,0001. had been already expended, and without
Penetrating through the chalk the work had been so
far successful that 18,000 cubic feet of water-
per day had been obtained ; the town, however,

pr. whetherThae
opinion of Professor Hopkins seemed to be that suc-
cess to this extent was extremely doubtful ; the well was
sunk where the chalk stratum was inclining downwards
towards the Isle of Wight, near to which there was a
large dislocation. Some of the subscribers to the pro-
ject pressed the learned Professor rather hard, but he
avowed that, if he were one of them, he should proceed
and go through the chalk. ' Ultimately, it was under-
stood, that some of the members of the Geological Sec-
that would examine the neighbourhood, and make any
suggestions they could upon the subject before leaving
Southampton.
The other papers read were—
Goeppert, Professor,tof Breslau, communicated by Sir
R. I. Murchison.—On the Origin of the Coal in the Sile-
sian Coal Fields.
Ormerod, Mr. G. W., F.R.S.—On. the Northwich Salt
Field.
