On the evening preceding the Transit of Venus a valuable Lecture was delivered to a large and interested audience, by Professor W. E. Ayrton of the Imperial College of Engineering, at Yedo; and on the occasion of the visit of the Challenger to Yokohama, Professor Wyville Thomson favored us with a Lecture, in which he gave a resumé of the results, as far as ascertained, of the deep-sea sounding and dredging in which he had been engaged. Such Lectures are of great value, and deserve the best acknowledgments of the Society.
