760 Selected Articles in Scientific Serials. [Sept., 1881. 
On the morning of the 13th the society went by the Mich. 
Southern R. R., to Whitings, Ind., and from there about a mile 
and a half to the grounds of the Lake George Sporting Associa- 
tion, the proposed place of rendezvous. This is a tract of wild 
land containing two or more lakes, low meadow and marsh lands 
and ridges of timber, in all several thousand acres. A few miles 
out from here is a belt of pines, the whole giving an exceed- 
ingly rich and varied flora and fauna in which all kinds of scien- 
tific specialists might find something of interest. The depart 
ments of natural history were represented in the field during the 
week by the following persons: 
Geology—Tyler McWhorter, Aledo; L. E. Evans, Streator ;
