 removed to Kansas City, it was continued as 

 The Naturalist. Shortly after this, the Kan- 

 sas City Academy of Science re-organized, 

 electing Mr. T. as its Recording Secretary, and 

 directly the paper became the official organ of 

 the Academy. Recently a new deal was effect- 

 ed, in which the following gentlemen, officers 

 and members of the Academy, will have charge 

 of Departments as indicated: Mr. E. Butts^, 

 City Engineer of K. C Archaealogj' and Gen- 

 eral Science: Prof. Sid. J. Hare, Palaentology, 

 David A. Todd. Mineralogy. E. T. Keim. Geolo- 

 gy and Ornithology ; and R. B. Ti-ouslot. Oology 

 and Taxidermv. These gentlemen have sub- 

 scribed a sum" sufficient to guarantee the regu- 

 lar appearance of The Naturalist on the lOth
