240 many are scattered through 'systematic' papers where they are easily overlooked, that I have thought it advisable to collect and classify, as a supplement to the 'Summary of the Deep-Sea Zoological Works' published in these memoirs in 1899, all such observations as have been reeordedrecorded [sic] since I first became connected with the ship, together with many hitherto unpublished facts selected from my Journal." The branches of zoological knowledge to which contributions are made are—"Illustrations of Commensalism"; Notes on Sexual Characters; Pairing and Viviparity among Marine Animals, and on the sounds made by certain of them; Notes on Stalk-eyed Crustacea; Instances of Protective and Warning Colouration: the Phosphorescence of certain Marine Invertebrates; Peculiarities of Food, &c. We wish that this condensation was made by authors from other publications; biological facts do remain very often buried except to the most industrious students, and even then their knowledge is necessarily of a personal equation.

of Carlstrasse II, Berlin, have just brought out a new and revised edition of their 'Zoologisches Adressbuch.' Mention has been already made in these pages as to the usefulness to all naturalists of this universal directory, and in its present revised form it will be still more serviceable. We still prefer, however, the usual and general method of allowing naturalists to communicate their own proper addresses, for we notice that the zeal of the compiler for change has in some cases outrun his discretion. However, all naturalists who have reason to correspond with others—and who has not?—will appreciate this publication.
