SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MICHIGAN ACADEMY 



OF SCIENCE. 



The seventh annual meeting of the Michigan Academy of Science was 

 held at Ann Arbor, March 28, 29, 30, 1001. There appeared 

 on the programme a list of fifty-three papers, a few of which 

 were read by title only. Besides the general sessions and the 

 meetings of the different sections, two lectures to which the 

 general public were invited, were given under the auspices of the 

 Academy, and a joint session was held with the Biological Section of 

 the Schoolmasters' Club. In the joint session two main subjects were 

 considered: first the teaching of the biological sciences in the secondary 

 schools; second, the presentation of some recent discoveries and theories 

 in the biological sciences. It is hoped that these joint meetings may 

 aid the Academv in carrving out one of its aims, namelv, the distribu- 

 tion of knowledge, and at the same time afford the teachers in the sec- 

 ondary schools of the State an opportunity to keep in touch with the 

 progress of the sciences in which they are interested.
