In a city as Snes as fore the news 
of the organization of another aquar- 
ium society will not be surprising. The 
Chicago Society Aquatic Life was or- 
ganized on November Ist, at 1714 Gi- 
rard street. Officers for the ensuing 
year have been elected as follows: Pres- 
ident, Dr. Frank Zuehlke, 2752 Belmont 
avenue; Secretary, Gustav Germann, 
1714 Girard street ; Treasurer, Frank W. 
Krempel, 2643 North Whipple street. 
Regular meetings will be held at the 
Inonne Ot Mie, eee, JLawiterctgica, ORs 
North Hoyne avenue, on the second and 
fourth Saturday of every month at 8.45 
IP, IML. 
One of the first actions of the new or- 
ganization was to adopt Aquatic Life as 
official organ. ‘This synchronizes with 
the objects of the society. It is our pur- 
pose to study aquatic life in all its forms, 
to make known the results of our inves- 
tigations and to promulgate knowledge 
of the breeding of fishes and the care 
of aquaria and related subjects. 
Steady progress is being made in a 
campaign for members. The writer will 
be glad to communicate with aquarists 
desiring to become affilated with the or- 
ganization.—Gustav GERMANN, Secre- 
tary.
