THE REPORT of the success of the A. A. A. S. committee in secur- 
ing a table for investigators at the Naples Zoological Station will be 
found on p. 283. As botanists were asked to codperate in this en- 
deavor, and did so coéperate, and as the Station makes generous 
provision for the study of marine and littoral plants, and as it is 
quite possible that a botanist may make application for the use of this 
table, it would have been a gracious, not to say a just, thing to recognize 
botanists in the formation of the advisory committee, which is at pres- ° 
ent composed entirely of zoologists. 
Probably Secretary Langley was deceived by his knowledge of the 
English language into thinking that the American Morphological So- 
“ety was not composed wholly of exima/ morphologists, and the 
Association of American Anatomists entirely of animad anatomists.
