nection with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the British, French, and Italian equivalents of the American Association be invited to send delegates to the meeting to be held next year in Chicago. The Association also indorsed and com. mended the general purposes of the Save the Redwoods League. Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the United States Bureau of Entomology, was elected president for the ensuing year.

ON Roosevelt Day, October 27, a number of lecture reminiscences were delivered at the American Museum in conjunction with the National Association of Audubon Societies. Addresses on various aspects of Roosevelt's interests in natural history were delivered by President Henry Fairfield Osborn, of the American Museum, Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies, Dr. Frank M. Chapman, curator of ornithology in the American Museum, Mr. George K. Cherrie, representative of the American Museum on the Roosevelt Expedition to South America, Mr. Carl E. Akeley, and Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton.

THE New York Times' "Review of Books" reports the activity of John Burroughs in the memorial exercises in honor of Theodore Roosevelt. He journeyed from his home to Garden City, Long Island, to plant a "Roose

velt tree" in the gardens of the Country Life Press, selecting a sugar maple and setting it near the evergreen tree which John Muir planted several years ago. Mr. Burroughs is spending the winter in southern California.

THROUGH the courtesy of Miss Josephine M. Stricker, who acted as Theodore Roosevelt's secretary during the years 1916 to 1919, NATURAL HISTORY has become acquainted with Roosevelt's early refusal and final acquiescence to Sigurd Neandross' request-seconded by Mr. Anthony Fiala-for sittings for a portrait bust (reproduced as frontispiece, page 510). Unfortunately the bust was never completed because of Roosevelt's sickness; in fact, the sculpture is so true to life in certain views as it stands, that it very perceptibly portrays the low state of health and somewhat troubled condition of mind of the great American in the last year of his life and the fourth of the heart-rending years of the war.

MR. LAURENCE V. COLEMAN has returned to the American Museum as chief of the department of preparation. Since Mr. Coleman's connection with the department of public health of the American Museum in 1915-16 he has been studying zoology at Yale, Harvard, and Woods Hole and has given nine months' service in the United States Army as chemist.

SINCE the last issue of NATURAL HISTORY the following persons have been elected members of the American Musum:
