Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science. — The 

 transactions of the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh an- 

 nual meeting's of this scientific society, bound in a 400 pag^e 

 book, have just been received. This volume, XIV, edited 

 by the librarian, is of unusual interest. Besides "Smal 

 Thing-s," address of the retiring- President, Prof. E. S. 

 Bailey, Lawrence ; many valuable articles on g-eolog"y, 

 mineralog-y, botany, etc., have interested us. In compar- 

 ing- the back numbers we find that the last one is certainly 

 better than any other. The Kansas Academy is g-rad- 

 ually becoming- recog-nized by the best societies and scien- 

 tific institutions of the world, and has for correspondents 

 the prominent professors of all continents.
