NOTES AND MEMORANDA. 
Publications of the Zoological Institute of the University of 
Vienna. — We desire to draw the attention of our readers to 
an important series of memoirs published under the direc- 
tion of Professor Claus, of Vienna. A very large amount 
of first-rate zoological research is now being carried on 
under the direction of the Vienna professor of Zoology. He 
not only holds his important chair in that city but has the 
zoological station of Trieste under his direction, and both 
he and his pupils have made ample use of these fine oppor- 
tunities. Among the memoirs which have appeared in the 
‘ Arbeiten aus d. Zool. Instit. der Univ.,’ Wien, are those of 
Claus on Halistemma, on Charybodaea, and on Phronima. 
These memoirs are not published in any other periodical or 
society’s proceedings. 
New Biological Journal.— On the first of January will 
appear a new biological journal, published in Brussels. 
Professor Edouard Van Beneden is one of the editors; the 
journal will be chiefly devoted to original memoirs and 
similar in scope to our own. We have great pleasure in 
commending the new Belgian journal to the attention of 
histologists and embryologists.
