Abstract
REFERRING to the note in NATURE of May 31 p. 669, on his award of the Linnean Gold Medal Prof. A. G. Tansley writes: In the notice of my work which appeared in NATURE of May 31 there is a small error which should, I think, be corrected. It is stated that in 1917 I took over the secretary's work and editorship of the Society's Journal. It was not I, but Dr. (now Prof.) E. J. Salisbury, who became secretary of the British Ecological Society in the autumn of 1916, and he held the post until 1932. “The guidance of the Society through the critical years of its development was thus shared by the two of us.”
