A few other gentlemen have been ap- 

 pointed on the committee, but their accept- 

 ances have not yet been received. It is 

 hoped that American chemists will become 

 members of this Fifth Congress in large 

 numbers, even if they are not able to be 

 present in person, and that as many as 

 possible will attend. Both those who can 

 attend and those who are not able to go 

 are urged to send papers. 



The work of the Congress has been or- 

 ganized in the sections given above. The 

 members of the committee in each section 

 should endeavor particularly to promote 

 the interest of that branch of the science 

 which specially belongs to that section. 



The fee for membership is 20 Marks or 

 $4.76. To avoid the trouble of sending 

 separate postal orders for this sum the 

 chairman of the committee, Dr. Wiley, 

 will undertake to transmit to Berlin the 

 membership fees of American chemists 

 who wish to avail themselves of this oppor- 

 tunity. Those desiring, therefore, to be- 

 come members may send their personal 

 check for $4.76 and nine cents to cover 

 postage, postal orders, etc., in all $4.85, 

 to Dr. H. W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau 

 of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture, 

 Washington, D. C, who will give them a 

 receipt for the same while waiting for an 

 oiBcial receipt from the treasurer at Berlin. 



If reductions in steamship rates can be 

 obtained a notice to the effect will be pub- 

 lished in Science and in the Journal of 

 the American Chemical Society. Members 

 attending the Congress should leave the 

 United States not later than the 15th of 

 May by slow steamer, nor the 20th of May 

 by fast steamer.
