is a splendid piece of work, which must have cost him much time and labor. It has so many important points that it is a necessity for all students of provincial history, and it is a model of how such studies should be made. At the May meeting of the Royal Society he submitted a paper on the historical geography of New Brunswick. In the U. S. Weather Review for April, Prof. Abbe quotes Prof. Ganong's article on Remarkable Sounds in the Bay of Fundy, and adds some comments. Prof. Ganong is now in New Brunswick. He will spend July investigating the structure and growth of the bogs in Westmorland county, and in August will do some further field work in the northern part of the province.

D. Leavitt Hutchinson, Director of the Observatory, St. John, is making cloud studies. He has taken a very good series of cloud pictures, and his photo of the fine display of cirrus clouds on June 5 is worthy of special mention.

Samuel W. Kain, one of the most industrious workers of the N. B. Natural History Society, has an article in the March Weather Review, on some meterological phenomena.

The recently issued Transactions of the Royal Society contain a paper by Dr. George F. Matthew on the Cambrian Fauna, which he has made his special study. Dr. Matthew will spend his summer vacation in field work.

Some months ago, Dr. W. D. Matthew published a paper on the Puerco Fauna, a group of primitive mammals. He is now on a exploratory trip among the northern counties of Kansas, where he is collecting fossil saurians for the American Museum of Natural History.

Charles F. B. Rowe has been actively engaged in field work this season, so far as his time has permitted.
