THE INTERNATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL CONGRESS. 



The seventh International Zoological Congress held its meetings in Boston, 

 August 19 to 24. The Congress, as judged by the papers which were offered and 

 the attendance at the meetings, was eminently successful. The program clearly 

 indicates that the interest of biologists at present centers about the problems of 

 heredity and animal behavior. 



We present below a list of the neurological papers which were announced on the 

 programs of the various sections, and a report of the meetings of the section of 

 Animal Behavior, which the organizing secretary of the section. Professor H. S. 

 Jennings, has prepared for this Journal.
