M. E.-B. Wilson écrit : « I hâve with much pleasure recei- 

 ved your letter of 26 th feb., announcing my élection as mem- 

 bre honoraire of the Société zoologique de Franee. Permit me, 

 in accepting, to express my great appréciation of the honor 

 thus conferred upon me, and also of the kind and friendly 

 message from you personnaly by which it is accompanied. I 

 am glad to receive this honor, not alone as a man of science, 

 but also as a citizen of one of the nations allied with France 

 in lier tremendous struggle for liberty and justice. Like to 

 many others of my countrymen, I am unable to fînd words to 

 express my admiration for what France lias done and for the 

 spirit she lias thown. Like many others, also, I regret that 

 America could not, or did not, enter the struggle earlier and 

 that in spite of ail efforts our coopération lias not yet been more 

 adéquate ; but I believe that the current is steadily gaining in 

 force and volume, and that in the end its effect will be worthv 

 of us. But what a pity it could not hâve corne sooner ! 



» I remember with great pleasure my visit to Roscofïand hope 

 that when the war is over, and before I get too old, I may 

 hâve the privilège of renewing acquaiutance with you ».
