 Philadelphia 17: 98-102. July, 1919. — Gives brief outline of planting plans, which include a 

 rose garden and a rhododendron vale. "The system of naming is that which will be found of 

 greatest advantage to average people and students and nursery men, and the names adopted 

 by the Committee upon Standardized Plant Names have been used. These are the terms 

 found in most botanies and in the Cyclopedia of Horticulture." — C. S. Gager.

94. Karraker, P. E. Notes on the conference on elementary soil teaching, held at Lex- 

 ington, Kentucky, June, 1920. Soil Sci. 10: 247. 1920.— The elementary work on soils should 

 be a course of 5 semester hours credit given in the sophomore year. The minimum pre- 

 requisites should be one year of general inorganic chemistry, one term of general geology, 

 and high school or college physics. At least three-fifths of the time should be spent in lec- 

 ture or recitation, and a standard textbook should be used. — W. J. Robbins. 



95. Lankester, E. Ray. Museums and the state. Nature 105:100-101. 1920.— 

 Favors separation of botany, zoology, etc. in distinct museums. The main purpose of a 

 museum is the acquisition, preservation, and study of specimens of scientific value. Public 

 exhibition is a secondary but important function. Materials for exhibition should be lim- 

 ited in amount but selected and displayed to the best possible advantage. The author 

 would like to see the system used at the American Museum of Natural History in New York 

 introduced (in British museums) but thinks it still gives too much space to public exhibition. 

 Part of article and two others under same title (pp. 101-102) by J. Stanley Gardiner and 

 W. M. Tattersall relate more particularly to organization and management. — 0. A. Stevens.

 review entitled Scientific Biography [See: Bower on Hooker. Nature 104: 562. 1920.)]. 

 He thinks real workers should give some time to popular articles, perhaps one lecture a year 

 which could be published at a popular price. — 0. A. Stevens.

 Amer. Soc. Agron. 12: 198-204. 1920.— An outline of the course as presented at Maryland

 ratus used.— i^. M. Schertz.
