Jones this day ate a pretty good dinner for a sick man, that is to say, the larger half of a shoulder of mutton. In the afternoon, he received an invitation from Mrs Miller to drink tea; for that good woman, having learned, either...

This will be a short account of the origin, growth, and death of the great parliament of Castile, the Cortes. That sounds a bit dramatic, but there’s nothing to be done about it, for the history of the Cortes of Castile has the elements of a proper tragedy: the self-destruction of a nation by pride, parochialism, and arrogance. One of my colleagues, now deceased, used to account for the aberrations of Spanish collective behavior by ascribing them to “Spanish individualism.” I can only guess that what he had in mind was that Spaniards, when they act in groups, act differently from the rest of us—in which he was certainly correct. Now, when group actions become consistent, formalized, and ritualistic, I call that pattern of conduct an institution, regardless of whether or not someone has taken the trouble to codify it. Institutions, then, have their origin and their being in the minds of men acting collectively.

Mr. President and Gentlemen, I believe a short account of the career and family history of Agnes Laing or Paterson, of her crime and of her trial before the Circuit Court of Justiciary at Perth, on April 22nd, 1872, will be of interest to you on the following grounds:—1st, that evidence of hereditary predisposition was not allowed to be led in her defence; 2nd, in consequence of the difficulty of determining the question as to how much alcoholism may have influenced the commission of the murder; and, 3rd, from the great prominence given to the term Homicidal Insanity by the counsel for the defence.

A brief history of the early days of mycology in Scotland is given to act as a starting point from which to view the fungal records made in the gardens at Sandyford and Kelvinside. The former was vacated in 1842 and the garden transferred to the present site at Kelvinside under the authority of the Glasgow City Council. The role of J.F. Klotzsch in generating the earliest records is emphasised and the compilation of fungal records, mainly of macrofungi, until the present day is discussed. A short account of the microfungi is given. A complete list of the fungi recorded from the two gardens is provided.

The Compressed Air Wind Tunnel has now been in more or less regular use fpr a little over a year, during which time some interesting results have been accumulated. While these results are not yet by any means complete enough to enable an exhaustive study of scale effect to be made, they are nevertheless of sufficient extent to throw light on several points in respect to scale effect which have hitherto been somewhat obscure, and in particular to show more clearly the relative effects of scale and turbulence on the important phenomenon of the maximum lift of aerofoils.It may be well to review briefly the history of the development of the Compressed Air Tunnel and to give a very short account of the construction of the tunnel at the N.P.L. and of the preliminary work associated with its special measuring apparatus, as no mention of these matters has yet been made in the Society's publications
