Notes and News (J. Bronte" Gatenby, D.Sc.) 



Among the many facts which the Great War has brought home to us, not the 

 least disquieting is that which shows that the majority of the foreign element 

 which has passed through our "ever open door," is not only of an inferior physical 

 type, but also much diseased. This is one of the menaces to be dealt with, and 

 we note that the " Eugenics Education Society," which numbers among its 

 members men such as Havelock Ellis, Mott Schuster, and Leonard Darwin, is of 

 the opinion that the time is at hand to begin to introduce reforms and enquiries. 

 This Society publishes a journal known as the Eugenics Review, in which matters 

 of interest to eugenists will be found. Communications may be sent to the 

 Secretary, Eugenic Education Society, n, Lincoln's Inn Fields, W.C.2. 



We note the formation of an " American Society of Mammalogists," which will 

 publish a new journal and devote its attention to the study of mammals in a 

 broad way, including life-history, evolution, palaeontology, anatomy and other 

 phases. The application for membership may be sent to H. H. J. Jackson, 

 U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., U.S.A.
