aas where he resided for a few years, from 

 which he retii-ed to a life of leisure at Los 

 Angeles, California. He was a fellow of the 

 American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Bos- 

 ton, and of the Academy of Natui'al Science, 

 Philadelphia. Dr. Clark descended from a 

 stock noted for its production of naturalists, 

 among them we find such names as Jackson, 

 Orton, Kingsley. He was a brother of Henry 

 James Clark, who was formerly associated with 

 Agassiz at Harvard, and distinguished for his 

 work on the invertebrata, etc. Their father, 

 Henry Porter Clark, married Abigail Jackson 

 Orton. He was a Swedenborgian minister but 

 retired early in life. He was a lifelong friend 

 of the Rev. Henry James, father of Henry and 

 William James, who was likewise a Sweden- 

 borgian." 



The International Union of Pure and Ap-

In order to promote original reseai-eh rela-

 ties of sulphur and the eifeets of sunlight, tem- 

 pei-ature and moisture on its action, the Crop 



Protection Institute expeets to offer two fel-

 Training in chemistry and plant physiology is 

 a prerequisite, and candidates should have

 forts of a high type. Applications, accom-

 A statement explaining the purposes and scope

Under stress of the economic conditions that 

 the war has placed on Austria, the well known 

 Zoologisch-Botanisehe Gesellschaft finds it 

 necessary to part with some of its scientific 

 collections as a means of maintaining its 

 existence. A recent letter from Dr. Hans 

 Neumayer, the general secretary of the society, 

 to Professor Wm. Trelease, of the University 

 of Illinois, asks that American botanists be 

 informed of that fact that a collection of about 

 12,000 mosses, comprising over 1,000 species 

 and collected by Schimper, de Notaris and 

 other men famed in this branch of botany, is 

 offered for sale. Detailed information may be 

 obtained from the secretary of the Gesellschaft, 

 at Vienna, and offers for its purchase may be 

 addressed to him. 



The first volume of a series of translations 

 and reprints to be known as Psychology 

 Classics is in press and will appear shortly. 

 The series is to be edited by Professor Knight 

 Dunlap, and published by the Williams and 

 Wilkins Company in Baltimore. The first 

 volume contains a translation, by Miss Istar A. 

 Haupt, of Lange's monograph on The Emo- 

 tions, with reprintings of William James's 

 article, "What is an Emotion?", for Mind and 

 his chapter on "The Emotions" from the 

 Principles of Psychology. In order to facili- 

 tate the preparation of further translations 

 and reprints, the royalties from these volumes 

 will be matched by an equal amount by the 

 Williams and Wilkins Company, the fund so 

 constituted to be deposited with the treasurer 

 of the Johns Hopkins University, and will be 

 applied solely to the defraying of clerical and
