In addition to these papers the Ecological Society of America contributed the following papers to the joint program held on the evening of December 27:

The hydrogen ion concentration of the sea water of Puget Sound and the reactions of the herring (Clupea pallasii Cuvier) to hydrogen concentration in sea water: EDWIN B. POWERS, Colorado College.

The PH of Puget Sound in the vicinity of Friday Harbor varies with other conditions, tides, depths and locality. The herring reacts positively to a PH of 7.9 to 8.0. The reaction is positive to this PH concentration both from a lower and a higher PH.

Ecological investigations under the federal government: HARRY C. OBERHOLSER, National Mu

seum.

The most important ecological investigation under federal government auspices are carried on as a basis for other work, and are of far-reaching importance. The Fish Commission studies the relation of fishes to their environment; the Forest Service that of trees; the Bureau of Plant Industry of various other plants, particularly with regard to plant diseases and plant introductions; the Bureau of Animal Industry, the life history of internal animal parasites; the Bureau of Entomology, the life history of insects in their relation to economic problems; and the Biological Survey, the relations of animals, birds and other animals to their environment and to each other, for the determination of the life zones of distribution.

The distribution of the internal parasites of the fish and other aquatic vertebrates of Oneida Lake, New York: HENRY S. PRATT, Haverford College.

An important feature of the meeting was the conference between government and laboratory zoologists on Saturday afternoon. Subject: Methods of securing Better Cooperation between Government and Laboratory Zoologists in the Solution of Problems of General or National Importance; Professor C. E. McClung, presiding.

Papers on plans and problems of the Bureau of Entomology that can be furthered by cooperation with laboratory zoologists: Dr. L. O. Howard.

Discussion led by Professor J. C. Needham, Cornell University.

Paper from the Bureau of Fisheries: Dr. Hugh Smith.

Discussion led by Professor H. B. Ward, University of Illinois.

Paper from the Bureau of Animal Industry: Dr. B. H. Ransom.

is clinical. Students spend the entire fore-
noon throughout the year as clinical clerks
in hospitals under careful supervision. The
clinical clerk takes the history, makes the
physical examination and the laboratory
examinations, arrives at a diagnosis which
he must defend, outlines the treatment
under his instructor and observes and
records the result. In case of operation or
of autopsy he follows the specimen and
identifies its pathological nature. Two gen-
eral hospitals, one of which is owned and
controlled by the University, one special
hospital and the municipal hospitals and
laboratories are open to our students. The
afternoons are spent in the College Dispen-
sary and in clinical work in medical and
surgical specialties and in conferences.

Summer School-A summer course in pathology covering a period of six weeks during June and July will be given in case there is a sufficient number of applicants.
