Abstract
THE Government of India has recently decided to transfer the office of the Zoological Survey of India from Calcutta to Delhi. As a result, the zoologists of Bengal will be deprived of the use of the only zoological library in that part of the country. In order to meet this difficulty, the Zoological Society of Bengal is issuing an appeal for assistance in the hope that zoologists will present them with reprints of their papers and put the Society on their mailing lists. The Zoological Society of Bengal was only founded last year, but the annual report for 1946 shows that already 294 members have been enrolled and various meetings held. Among the speakers has been Prof. H. Munro Fox, one of the British delegates to the Indian Science Congress Association. The Society proposes to issue monographs of typical Indian animals and also a bulletin dealing with simple zoological laboratory technique. It also hopes to publish a journal devoted to zoological research in India. The president is Prof. H. K. J. Mookerjee, and secretary, Dr. S. P. Ray Chaudhuri. The Society's address is 35 Ballygunge Circular Road, Calcutta.
