VOLUME V. NO. L 



Editorial Notes. 



The twelfth celebration of Founder's Day took place on April 

 30, 1908. The principal address of the occasion was delivered by the 

 Right Honorable James Bryce, the British Ambassador, who spoke 

 upon "The Influence of Modern Science upon Modern Thought." 

 His scholarly address paid high tribute to the manner in which the 

 exact methods of students of nature have contributed to advancement, 

 more especially in the field of the historical and sociological sciences. 

 The address delivered by Dr. William T. Hornaday upon " The Edu- 

 cational Value of Popular Museums" well sustained the reputation of 

 the speaker as one of the foremost exponents of advanced methods in 

 imparting popular instruction along scientific lines. The address of 

 Mr. Henry E. Krehbiel on "The Orchestra as a factor in Educa- 

 tion " was incidentally a powerful plea for the maintenance in Pitts- 

 burgh of the splendid orchestra which has done so much within recent 

 years to elevate the standard of musical taste in the community. 



The proceedings of Founder's Day have been issued in the form of 

 a pamphlet, the beautiful typography of which reflects the excellent 

 taste which characterizes everything put forth by the DeVinne Press. 

 The only criticism which the Editor of the Annals would make relates 

 to the title of the cut facing page 37, in which his namesake, Dino- 

 hyus hollandi Peterson, is designated as a " fossil pig." It is "a far 

 cry ' ' from Dinohyus to the genus Sus.
