modelling: of the Thomson Auditorium for the use of the Mu- 



seum. 



Professor Rea is just concluding his University Extension 

 lectures on the History of Biology before Darwin. An ara 

 rangement will be made whereby members of the Museum will 

 receive tickets to the remainder of the course, which treats of 

 Darwinism and post-Darwinian problems. 



The January issue of the Bulletin will be devoted, as 

 usual, to the annual report of the Director of the Museum. 



The late appearance of the Bulletin for December is due 

 to the failure of City Council to ratify the contract concerning 

 the new building on December 27th as expected. Since this 

 failure was due to mere oversight and the pages of this issue 

 were already in press, publication has been withheld until the 

 formal ratification of the contract on January 8th.
