Science. This weekly journal of research and discovery, 
abandoned for some months has been revived under most favorable 
circumstances and bids fair to give American students a reputable 
and authoritative medium of rapid and regular publication. It is 
published under the codperation of the following Editorial Com- 
mittee: S. Newcomb, Mathematics; R. S. Woodward, Mechanics . 
E. C. Pickering, Astronomy; T. C. Mendenhall, Physics; R. H. 
Thurston, Engineering; Ira Remsen, Chemistry ; Joseph Le Conte 
Geology ; W. M. Davis, Physiography ; O. C. Marsh, Paleon- 
tology; W. K. Brooks, Invertebrate Zoology; C. Hart Merriam, 
Vertebrate Zodlogy; N. L. Britton, Botany ; Henry F. Osborn, 
General Biology; H. P. Bowditch, Physiology; J. S. Billings, 
Hygiene; J. McKeen Cattell, Psychology; Daniel G. Brinton, J. 
W. Powell, Anthropology. 
Volume I of the new series was begun January 4th, and the 
seven numbers so far issued are replete with matters of both 
general and special interest. In these days of extreme special- 
ization and enormous publication, the student tends to confine 
himself to his chosen sphere of thought, and to know as much 
aS possible about that little sphere, and it would seem in many 
cases as little as possible about everything else. This tendency 
has been especially noticable in America, and we may now hope 
that it will be in large measure corrected by the publication of 
the journal here noticed. 
Manuscript intended for publication and books or papers in- 
tended for review should be sent to Professor J. McKeen Cattell, 
Garrison on Hudson, N. Y. The subscription is fixed at $5.00 a 
year and should be sent to the Publisher of Science, 41 East 49th 
St., New York City. We bespeak a cordial support of the enter- 
prise by all American botanists.

This exceedingly interesting contribution to the literature of 
problematic organisms is the second one on the subject by the 
author since the original ‘‘ Notice of new gigantic Fossils,” pub- 
lished in Science, 19: 99-100. jigs. I—3. The name has evidently 
‘seemed somewhat provincial to the author, so he begins the paper
