The 1922 annual meeting of the federation 

 will be held on Wednesday, Thursday and 

 Friday, December 27, 28 and 29, at Toronto, 

 Canada, under the auspices of the Univei-sity 

 of Toronto. The program will be sent out

The Local Committee is anxious to arrange 

 a large series of demonstrations. As the de- 

 partments of physiology, bioohemisti-y and 

 pharmacology are ail in the one buUding, fa- 

 cilities of all kinds can readily be aiTanged.

 should be addressed to Professor J. M. Olmsted, 

 Medical Building, University of Toronto. 



The general meetings will be held in the

 of the Constituent Societies will be held in the 

 Medical and Analtomy Buildings of the univer- 

 sity, which intercommunicate. The lecture 

 rooms are not distant from each other and it is 

 lioped to have a notice board system, so that 

 the papers to be read in each section will be 



posted in each other section. Professor An- 

 dreAv Hunter is chairman and Professor V. E. 

 Henderson is secretary of the local committee. 



THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY' 



The 24th annual meeting (the 118th regu-
