Abstract
THE arrangements for the seventh International Zoological Congress, which will be held at Boston,! August 19?, under the presidency of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, are now well advanced. The congress will open formally on the afternoon of August 19 in the Harvard Medical School, and arrangements will then be made for the meetings of the sections. The subdivision proposed is rather elaborate, for there are to be sections on general zoology, systematic zoology, experimental zoology, marine zoology, evolution, heredity, and so on. There will be three general meetings; the International Committee on Zoological Nomenclature, under Prof. R. Blanchard, will continue its arduous labours; and numerous addresses, communications, and exhibits have already been arranged for. It need hardly be said that the arrangements for hospitality are generous. On each day of the strict congress week there will be luncheon at the invitation of the Boston local committee, and the evenings will be occupied with receptions and dinners.
