• NOTES AND COMMENT 173 



The present year has witnessed the appearance of Soil Science, a 

 journal edited by Prof. Jacob G. Lipman and published by Rutgers 

 College, New Brunswick, New Jersey. This monthly affords a much 

 needed medium for the publication of papers in soil physics, soil chem- 

 istry and soil biology. 



A new course will be offered during the summer quarter at the 

 University of Chicago, dealing with the methods used in ecological 

 work, particularly with respect to measurement of environmental fac- 

 tors and field experimentation. The course is in charge of Dr. George 

 D. Fuller. 



A bequest has been made the School of Forestry of Yale University 

 with a view to the offering of work in tropical forestry. The organi- 

 zation of courses is now under way and it is expected that the new 

 work will be inaugurated by July 1.
