802 NOTES. BOOKS RECEIVED. 
Prof. E. Claparède, the eminent zoologist of Geneva, died ow 
the 2d of June, at Sienne, Tuscany. He had not yet reached his 
fortieth year. By his anatomical and systematic works on the 
lower animals, especially the worms, and illustrated with his facile 
pencil, he had attained the front rank as an investigator, and his 
death is a serious loss to science. His principal works were on 
the Evolution of Spiders, Studies on the Infusoria and Rhizopods, 
the Formation of the Egg in Nematode Worms, Studies on Aca- 
rina, and his splendidly illustrated works on the anatomy of the 
Worms. He was a pupil of Johannes Müller, and besides a high 
order of talent, must have been endowed with great powers of ap- 
plication to have produced so muc 
We are glad to announce that the Chicago Academy of Science 
have resumed their meetings and that the members are resolved 
to go on with their good work at once. At the meeting on Nov. 
14, Col. Foster read a paper on the ‘‘ Colorado Mountains” which 
will be printed in our January number. Mr. Walker in behalf of 
the Trustees of the Academy made an informal announcement to 
the meeting that the Academy would have left from the fire about 
sixty thousand dollars with which to rebuild, and trusted that a lot 
would be secured near the lake shore.
