A well-bound copy of the Rev. J. G. Wood's Animate Creation, in 

 three volumes, quarto, has been given to the Academy by Miss 

 Ella B. Altemus, in memory of the late William Wilkinson Altemus. 



The notable decrease in the number of additions to the Library 

 during 1915 has been due to two causes: A lessening of appropria- 

 tions, but more especially the interference with foreign correspondence 

 by the horrible war which is, in one way or another, affecting every 

 human interest, most of them disastrously. The German production 

 of scientific publications was at first sustained, but is now decreasing. 

 Out of sixty-nine German periodicals subscribed for nothing has been 

 received from twenty-one of them. The English journals continue 

 as usual, and the French, while much affected at first, are now for 

 the most part going on as before the war. We have been warned 

 by the Royal Academy of the I.incei, the Royal Academy of Sciences 

 of Petrograd, and the Chemical Society of London that issues for- 

 Avarded now must be at our risk, as losses, if any occur, will not 

 be made up. In these cases it has been thought best to ask for a 

 prompt supply of publications, assuming such risk as may be in- 

 volved, for it will probably not be more than we should run in 

 expecting the volumes in bulk at the end of the conflict.
