In addition to the above papers the series of lectures founded 

 in memory of William Ellery Hale of Chicago was inaugurated 

 by Sir Ernest Rutherford of the University of Manchester. Two 

 lectures were delivered dealing with the Constitution of Matter 

 and the Evolution of the Elements. The committee in charge 

 has planned other lectures on this general subject of evolution. 

 The second series to be given in the coming autumn will be by 

 Dr. W. W. Campbell, Director of the Lick Observatory, who 

 will discuss the principal theories of stellar evolution. It is pro- 

 posed to invite a distinguished European geologist to give a 

 third course of lectures at the annual meeting of the Academy in 

 1915; he will show how the surface features of the earth have 

 been altered in the process of time.
