A well-bound copy of the Rev. J. G. Wood’s Animate Creation, in 
three volumes, quarto, has been given to the Academy by Miss 
Ella B. Altemus, in memory of the late William Wilkinson Altemus. 
The notable decrease in the number of additions to the Library 
during 1915 has been due to two causes; A lessening of appropria¬ 
tions, but more especially the interference with foreign correspondence 
by the horrible war which is, in one way or another, affecting every 
human interest, most of them disastrously. The German production 
of scientific publications was at first sustained, but is now decreasing. 
Out of sixty-nine German periodicals subscribed for nothing has been 
received from twenty-one of them. The English journals continue 
as usual, and the French, while much affected at first, are now for 
the most part going on as before the war. We have been Warned 
* by the Royal Academy of the Lincei, the Royal Academy of Sciences 
of Petrograd, and the Ghemical Society of London that issues for¬ 
warded now must be at our risk, as losses, if any occur, wall not 
be made up. In these cases it has been thought best to ask for a 
prompt supply of publications, assuming such risk as may be in¬ 
volved, for it will probably not be more than we should run in 
expecting the volumes in bulk at the end of the conflict.
