It appears from Table III. that the total number of men in Table 

 I. is 122 and that they have a membership of 515, 16 of them are mem- 

 bers of all seven societies, and 14 of six. On January 1, 1909, the num- 

 ber of members was 93, on January 1, 1914, it was 89. As in the previ- 

 ous publication, Prussia is ahead of any other country in men, mem- 

 bership and in membership in all seven societies. The average mem- 

 bership is, however, much less than that of England. The progress in 

 France appears from its seven new members, and in the United States 

 by its four new members, equalling in number those of Prussia. Six 

 years ago the United States had no more members than Saxony, al- 

 though the population was twenty times as great. The total number 

 elected shows an excess of three, although the number living is only one 

 greater, owing to the great loss by death, including the two leaders, 

 Newcomb 7, and Agassiz 6. It is interesting to compare the numbers 

 of Austria and Germany, including Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria, Baden 

 and Wiirttemberg, with England, France, Russia, Belgium and Scot- 

 land, and with the nine remaining countries. The number of members 

 in these three groups are 44, 41, 37; of members of all seven societies 

 7, 5 and 4; of memberships, 188, 181 and 145; of new members, 7, 12 

 and 10; of deaths, 12, 12 and 9. These numbers are nearly equal, with 

 a slight advantage for Germany.
