4. Zeitschrift fur Gletscherlcunde, fur Eiszeitforschung und 

 Geschichte des Klimas. Organ cler Internationalen Gletscher- 

 commission ; herausgegeben von Eduard Bruckner. Band I, 

 Heft 1, pp. 80. Berlin, 1906 (Gebrfider Borntraeger). — A new 

 journal devoted to Glaciology has recently been inaugurated as 

 the organ of the International Glacial Commission, with Dr. 

 Eduard Bruckner as editor.' He will be assisted by eleven asso- 

 ciate editors ; the American representative is Dr. H. F. Reid, of 

 Baltimore. The journal will contain discussions of subjects 

 relating to glaciology and the investigation of the Ice Age in all 

 its phases, with shorter communications on the same subjects, 

 reviews of books and papers published elsewhere, and a general 

 bibliography. It will be international in character; while the 

 editorial matter will be in German, the papers and communica- 

 tions may be in any one of the four prominent languages. It 

 will be issued at irregular intervals, not more than five parts 

 annually, each part containing 80 pages octavo ; subscription 

 price, sixteen marks. The first number has just been distributed 

 and bears the date of May, 1906. This new journal fills an 

 important gap in the series of special scientific organs, and will 

 doubtless accomplish much in promoting interest in the subjects 

 with which it deals ; it should receive liberal support.

 Geological Series, Vol. Hi, N~o, 2. The Shelburne and South 

 Bend Meteorites; by Oliver Cummings Farrington. Pp. 23, 

 with 15 plates. — The account of the Shelburne meteorite as 

 described by Borgstrom was given in the January number of 

 this Journal (p. 86). Dr. Farrington now describes a second 

 stone of the same fall weighing 12^ pounds. Its fall was quite 

 unusual, since it came down in a narrow space between a house 

 and a shed, narrowly escaping both of them, and burying itself 

 18 inches in the ground. The South Bend meteorite, also 

 described in this pamphlet, is a pallasite weighing 5-^- pounds, and 

 was found in 1893 two miles from South Bend, in St. Joseph 

 county, Indiana. This is the seventh pallasite which has been 

 discovered in the United States ; it is referred to the Imilac 

 group and the ratio of nickel-iron to chrysolite is 2T4 to 786.
