for the meetings of the scientific congress to 

 be held in Havre in the autumn of 1914. The 

 most interesting feature of the institute will 

 be an aquarium which will ofPer instruction 

 and entertainment to the inhabitants of Havre 

 and the vicinity, as well as to the numerous 

 tourists who visit the district. 



The University of Chicago Press has as- 

 sumed the American agency for the Interna- 

 tionale Monatsschrift fur Anatomie und Physi- 

 ologie, published at Leipzig by Geirg Thieme. 

 Professor Eobert E. Bensley, of the depart- 

 ment of anatomy in the University of Chicago, 

 has been made American editor of the journal. 

 The University Press has also announced the 

 addition of two journals to the list of nine it 

 publishes in America for the Cambridge Uni- 

 versity Press, England. The journals are 

 Annals of Applied Biology and The Annuals 

 of the Bolus Herharium, the former of inter- 

 est to workers in entomology, plant disease, 

 diseases of animals, and forestry, and the lat- 

 ter dealing with the flora of South Africa. In 

 addition to these twelve journals of research 

 for which the University of Chicago Press is 

 the American agent, it now publishes itself six- 

 teen other journals. 



The department of archeology, Phillips 

 Academy, Andover, Mass., has conducted re- 

 search work in the state of Maine for a num- 

 ber of years. In June, it is planned to send 

 an expedition of ten or eleven men from the 

 headwaters of the St. John River to its mouth 

 — a distance of over three hundred miles. The 

 expedition will then proceed to the head of 

 Mattawamkeag stream and travel south some 

 fifty miles, and then explore the Upper Grand 

 Lakes, the Lower Grand Lakes and the Ste. 

 Croix basin. A side expedition will move east- 

 ward into central New Brunswick. The total 

 distance traveled in canoes will be over six 

 hundred miles. The object of the expedition 

 is, so far as possible, to trace the limits of the 

 so-called Red Paint Culture, and to map pre- 

 historic and historic sites in the regions vis- 

 ited. Excavations will be undertaken where 

 it seems advisable. In case large or important 

 sites are discovered the expedition will work 

 out such in more or less detail, and if neces- 



sary, will postpone further reconnaissance 

 until next year. The archeological material 

 discovered, together with observations on his- 

 toric sites, should enable students to better 

 understand the relationship between the vari- 

 ous eastern cultures, and may shed some light 

 on prehistoric migrations. The plans have 

 been approved, and in the absence of the di- 

 rector of the department, Dr. Peabody, in Eu- 

 rope, Curator Moorehead will conduct the ex- 

 pedition. Most of the members of the survey 

 have seen previous service in Maine, and it is 

 hoped that important results will be obtained. 

 Francis B. Manning, of Harvard, will be first 

 assistant; and Ernest Sugden will act as sur- 

 veyor. The total number of Indian sites 

 mapped by the department in Maine in past 

 years is over two hundred. About 5,300 stone 

 and bone artifacts have been taken from exca- 

 vations at various points. The department is 

 compiling a bibliography of references to 

 Maine Indians. At present there are over 

 three hundred titles, and the work is not 

 completed. 



Dr. J. E. "Wallace Wallin, who since the 

 winter of 1912 has occupied the position of 

 professor of clinical psychology and director 

 of the psychoeducational clinic in the school 

 of education of the University of Pittsburgh, 

 has been appointed to the position of director 

 of the psycho-educational clinic in the St. 

 Louis public schools. The clinic will be or- 

 ganized at the beginning of the next school 

 year. It will be located on the grounds of the 

 Harris Teachers College, with which institu- 

 tion it will be closely afiiliated. Lecture 

 courses on abnormal children by the director 

 will be offered in the extension division of the 

 college. Students may matriculate in these 

 courses whether or not they reside in the city of 

 St. Louis. The clinic will be organized as an 

 independent bureau in the educational division 

 of the school and not as a minor division of the 

 department of school hygiene or medical in- 

 spection. But it will work in close coopera- 

 tion with the latter department. The clinic 

 will exercise administrative control under the 

 regulations of the superintendent's oifice over 

 the examination, classification, education,
