 new hosp. in France with apparatus for research along pathol., 

 bacterioL, surg. and ehem. hnes. Dr. H. D. Dakin is associated with

Dr. C. D. Walcott, sec'y of the Smithsonian Institution, has been 

 informed that the Stazione Zoologica at Naples is in a somewhat 

 serious condition financially, owing to the withdrawal of German 

 Support. The Smithsonian Institution maintains a table at the Sta- 

 tion, which is all it can do under existing conditions. Dr. Wal- 

 cott's informant suggests that if our univ's would take up some of 

 the vacated tables, it would not only assist the Station, but would 

 eventually result in closer Cooperation between our scientific men 

 and those of Europe.
