PERSONAL AND SCIENTIFIC NEWS. 
Mr. John R. Procter, director of the Kentucky geolog- 
ical SURVEY, is on an indefinite leave of absence, while doing 
some work in southwestern Virginia for ex-governor Lee and 
others, and meantime assistant M. H. Crump is in charge of 
the survey. 
The American Naturalist, which has revived from its 
comatose condition, appears in good order and on time again. 
This admirable journal, more than twenty years old, now 
published by Ferris Bros., Philadelphia, contains the first 
announcements of many of the paleontological discoveries of 
Prof. E. D. Cope, and is well known in all scientific circles. It 
is with much satisfaction that we notice its establishment on 
a firmer basis, and we heartily commend it to all scientific 
students and libraries.
