of places from which it is ready to supply material for demonstration or investi- 
gation to members of the society. The list is too long to be republished, but it » 
is evident that one can secure working materal from a wide range of localities. 
Correspondence relating to such material should be addressed to the secretary, 
Professor J. P. Lotsy, Leyden, Holland. 
BEGINNING with January 1, 1906, the form of the publications, which in 
the past have appeared as bulletins of the Bureau of Government Laboratories 
in the Philippines, will be changed to a journal to be known as the Philippine 
Journal of Science. This publication will include original articles by members 
of the staff of the Bureau of Science, as well as scientific papers submitted for 
_ publication by other officials of the Philippine government and by individuals 
not officially connected therewith. The journal will include researches in 
ieee zoology, chemistry (including physiological chemistry), serums and pro- 
phylaxis, mineralogy, geology, paleontology, mining, and mineral resources. 
The journal is to review work which is being accomplished and to present such 
original results as are obtained. The subscription price is $5 (U. S.) per year. 
It will be possible to secure reprints of any particular series of the articles at 
reduced prices. The journal will be edited by Dr. Paut C. FREER, director 
of the Bureau of Science, with Dr. RrcHArD P. Srronc, chief of the biological 
laboratory, and Mr. H. D. McCaskey, chief of the division of geology and 
mining, as co-editors. 
IN THE SUMMER of the present year a permanent Station for the study 
of arctic science will be established on the south coast of Disco Island in Danish 
West-Greenland. The cost of the foundation is defrayed by a gift from Mr. 
A. Hotcx, of Copenhagen, and the Danish government has promised an annual 
grant of 10,060 kroner ($3000) toward its maintenance. A laboratory, equipped 
with appliances and instruments especially for biological researches, will be 
attached to the Station, and for the present two work-places will be furnished 
for visiting naturalists. The visitors will have the free use of the instruments, 
seaeay outfit, and library of the Station. Lodging will be free and a small 
e will be charged only for board. The first visitors can be received in 1997, 
oa notices, ,inviting application, will be issued in due course. A library of 
arctic literature is to be founded at the Station and to be made as pan as 
possible, but on account of the limited resources of the Station and the vastness 
of the literature, only a small proportion of it can be purchased. The Director 
of the Station, M. P. Porsitp, asks botanists to be good enough to come to its 
assistance by giving to this library works on arctic and antarctic nature, and 
especially on arctic biology. The publications of the Station will be sent in 
return, and the Station will be glad to render any service in its power. Up 
to May 1 Director Porsirp may be addressed at Copenhagen S., Denmark.
