THE 



NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



DEVOTED TO ALL PHASES OF NATURE-STUDY IN SCHOOLS

THE AMERICAN NATURE-STUDY SOCIETY 



The number of applications for membership in the proposed 

 society for nature-study now justifies the making of definite plans 

 for completing organization. It is true that the list is still far 

 short of the one thousand names suggested in the March issue 

 of The Review as desirable for a beginning; but the daily 

 stream of applications for membership makes it probable that 

 many more than one thousand will be registered before the end 

 of this year. However, the plans for the new society have not 

 yet been widely advertised and it is highly desirable that those 

 already enrolled take an active interest in the work of increasing 

 the membership. For convenience in reaching those who do 

 not yet know about the proposed society some small circulars 

 intended for enclosing in letters have been printed and will 

 be mailed from the office of The Review to any reader who 

 will help distribute them. One person enclosed these circulars 

 in nearly one hundred letters and secured over thirty names 

 for membership. 



Organizing Committee. — It was suggested in the March Review 

 that applications for membership should be accompanied with 

 nominations for ten members of an Organizing Committee. 

 Very many letters have contained such nominations and the 

 names given below have received the largest number of votes.

 Hodge, of Clark Universit}^; Professor O. W. Caldwell, of the
