THE Summer Laboratory of Biology of Tufts 
College was established at South Harpswell, 
Maine, in 1898, and will hold a second session 
this year. The announcement states that the 
regular courses of instruction begin on July 
8th and continue for six weeks. The labora- 
tory will be established in a small wooden 
building directly on the shore and will have ac- 
commodations for fifteen or twenty students. 
South Harpswell is situated on the shores of 
Casco Bay, sixteen miles from Portland. The 
bay has a rich fauna and flora and is well 
adapted fora marine laboratory. South Harps- 
well itself is well situated, as from it one can 
readily reach the numerous islands of the bay 
as well as the outer fishing grounds rich in in- 
vertebrates. The laboratory is near the ex- 
tremity of a narrow peninsula (ten miles in 
length) and being thus almost entirely sur- 
rounded by water is free from mosquitoes while 
hot weather is unknown. Courses will be given 
by Professor Kingsley and Dr. Lambert on in- 
vertebrate zoology, vertebrate zoology, botany 
and embryology, and facilities are offered to a 
certain number of students who are able to 
carry on their researches without assistance. 
APROPOS of the movement for an archeolog- 
ical survey of Michigan and legislation to that 
effect which is now pending, it is of interest 
to know that Wisconsin students are about to 
organize a Statearcheological association, the ob- 
jects of which are to encourage to a greater ex- 
tent than is now possible the study and preser- 
vation of Wisconsin antiquities and to establish 
a closer working relationship between collectors 
and students in different parts of the State.

THE London Times states that a further col- 
lection of some 400 photographs of objects and 
customs of antiquarian and historical interest 
within the British Islands has been made 
by the National Photographic Record Associa- 
tion and is now at the offices of the Royal 
Photographic Society, before being deposited in 
the British Museum. Sir Benjamin Stone’s 
contribution to the present collection is devoted 
to the county of Warwick. There are two in-- 
teriors of Trinity Church, Statford-on-Avon, one 
showing the chancel with its carved oak screen 
and fine perpendicular windows, and the other 
amore general view, taken from the extreme 
west end, in order to give prominence to the 
unusually placed organ—over the chancel arch. 
From the same church are illustrations of the 
fine Elizabethan monument, of the Clopton 
family, the mayor’s pew, and the ancient sanctu- 
-ary knocker, the seizing of which by a refugee 
was sufficient to confer upon him the privilege of 
sanctuary.! Outside the church, too, are the 
shot marks of a military execution. A con- 
siderable number of recumbent effigies are taken 
from the churches of Meriden, Merevale, and 
Astley. Shakespeare’s tomb at Statford-on- 
Avon is shown when covered with flowers on 
the occasion of the festival in April last, and 
various views of the festival procession are 
also preserved; while the ‘ Mop’ and the roast- 
ing of the ox at Stratford are also recorded. 
Another series illustrates the entire process 
of haymaking by hand, from the sharpening 
of the scythe to the stacking—an interesting 
series of an unusual type, showing a com- 
plete industry. Mr. Calcott gives some views 
of Bristol, St. Peter’s Hospital being a par- 
ticularly fine specimen of carved timber work 
with the projecting stories supported by ani- 
mal grotesques. Miss Mary Cotton has con- 
tributed some records from the Ardmore, 
County Waterford, of the Round Tower and 
ruined cathedral there, and of the ornamental 
stones known as the Ogham Stones, inscribed 
only with horizontal lines of various lengths. 
Of even greater archeological value are Mr. 
A. R. Hogg’s unique photographs from near 
the Boyne, of the entrance to the Dowth Mound, 
and the interior of the Tumulus of New Grange, 
showing the foundation of the stone roof.
