From Dr. P. R. Uhler, the Museum has received the Meyer Duehr series of European hemiptera. This collection contains a very large number of species determined by Dr. Franz Fieber.

Mr. Thomas Barbour has presented the Museum with collections from India, Burmah, the Dutch East Indies, and New Guinea, which have enriched the study series of specimens in every department.

...December number of the Monthly opens fitly with tributes to President Eliot from three men of note, Ambassador Bryce, President Hadley of Yale, and President Wilson of Princeton. On these follows "A Leaf of Bay," a simple and musical two-stanza ode in praise of a warrior who has conquered and may now rest. The collocation suggests that the allusion is to President Eliot, who certainly will watch the young men with undiminished interest as they "look toward the fight," but whether he will be content to rest "careless of the war about" is doubtful.
