glands, have been of fundamental importance. FRAN- 

 OIS-FRANCK has published many beautiful papers upon 

 vasomotor regulation, important in their results and 

 models of technical skill. DASTRE, in his own name and 

 through the workers in his well-equipped laboratory, is 

 known for work in all branches of physiology and physi- 

 ological chemistry. The work of these men and their 

 pupils includes all the existing fields in physiology. 



The longer contributions appear in the "Journal de 

 Physiologic et de pathologic generale," the successor to 

 the well known "Archives de Physiologic normale et 

 pathologique:" but the pages of the weekly journal 

 "Comptes rendus de la Societe de Biologic" teem with 

 shorter communications that touch on every phase of 

 biological research, and reflect like a mirror the latest 

 thoughts and aspirations of the workers in science. 



Instruction. Any student who wishes to pursue 

 advanced work in Physiology or desires instruction in 

 modern methods of research will find in France, and 

 especially of course in Paris, able and distinguished 

 teachers and ample laboratory facilities. In the labo- 

 ratories of the Faculte de Medecine, at the Sorbonne in 

 the Faculte des Sciences, at the College de France, the 

 Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, and the Institut Pasteur, 

 opportunities are offered for investigative work in all 

 branches of physiology, and in biological chemistry and 

 physics. Details in regard to the lecture courses and 

 laboratory courses which may be followed are furnished 

 by the "Livret de 1'Etudiant" of the University of 

 Paris; but arrangements in regard to participation in 

 research work must be made of course with the directors 

 of the laboratories. 



Libraries are numerous and complete. In addition to 

 the great Bibliotheque Nationale, there are special
