It Ijaa already been noticed in ourcolumne tnat through the exertions of the Geogra- phical Society of Quebec, a surrey ia aU)ut to be undertaken of the remarkable country laying between Lake St. John and Hudson'i liay A large proportion of the coat of this expedition will very properly he borne by the Governments of the Dominion and of Quebec Ihe surveying party will leave Quebec early m July and will be absent about a year. Ihe leader is to be Mr. John Bignell, PL S. of this city, a gentleman who ia admirably adapted for the responsible position being conversant with all the Indian dialects of the district, and one of the few white men who hawever visited it. The second olKcer will be Mr. E.Coste, M.E-.of L'^cole des Mine, raria. Mr. A. Comeau of Godbout.will also ac- company the party as naturalist. The rest of the party will be Indians. The directions for the guidance of the party have been prepared we believe, by Professor Selwyn. Those principally interesting the publip are as fol- lows : — *^ Ist. A thorough survey by diographical and topographical of the Lake Mastissini especially of the northern and eastern portions not previously surveyed. .u^"'^' ^.^'f^^o^ogi^^al examination of the Lake ^^hore and of as much of the.adjacent country as may be practicable. ^ 3rd. The collection of specimens, vegetable animal and mineral, illustrative of the re- sources of the region. It is also important that a survey should be m^i^ of the Rupert River, through which the waters of Lake Mist^ssinj discharge into James Bay. * / \^ -z^ a ^' 77^ V ic^G ^yC?^ r A / ^ ^4^ i/r^t^ ■^ ^ ^^-f<-^s y x< /*-c ^- 4,' «._ .^^^- o^^^ n 7^^ J /' <^ <*- / /'.- V- A r-'-^^ 7^1 7 ^nTl, ^/>*-<^ ^ ^-t.-X^' IA^-CjL. i L- >c7 ixO-C / // ^J (X u U lit ^^ J^^ ^i -i^.i^^t^'t-'*^-^-? ^^K^ a^ A*L, . ^^^^ 7 ^^fh^ :^ t.

Nevertheless as English names are for most people easier to use, they can be employed, and if any doubt arises as to what bird is meant, special inquiry will be made. If the Smithsonian numbers are used they will save time and space and will be perfectly understood. /observers will please make reports January 20, FebruaiT S, February 20 and as often thereafter as materinl for a letter or a postal accumulates, at least once a week) T^c iccjidj fui tliu fiisi da) uf the iiiuntii. will [jIlcIal be i>unt aa aoon ao poaoiblo nftor they arc taken. - Of course it is not expected that each observer will hz able to carry out these instructions to the letter.

S. Vol. XVI. No. 398. DR. J. G. COOPER. News has been received of the death at Hay ward, Alameda County, California, of Dr. James G. Cooper, at the age of seventy- two years, July 19, 1902. Dr. Cooper's services to science have been such (coupled with the singular omission of his name and his father's from the chief records of American biography) as to render some statement of them desirable for a genera- tion to whom he was little known. James Cooper, an English merchant, set- tled in New York shortly after the Revolu- tion, accumulated a competency and died in 1801, leaving a son, William Cooper, born in 1798. At an early age the latter, who had inherited thj* love of nature from his mother, Frances Graham, determined to devote himself to the study of Natural History. At the age of eighteen young Cooper became one of the founders of the Lyceum of Natural History, now the New York Academy of Sciences, under the lead of Dr. S. L. Mitchill, John Torrey, Daniel Barnes and others, and soon became a gen- erous contributor to its library and one of its officers. In 1821 William* Cooper sailed for Europe to continue his studies in zool- ogy and was elected the first American member of the Zoological Society of Lon- don. He attended the lectures of Cuvier at Paris, and on his return devoted himself to ornithology and paleontology. He was a friend of Schoolcr'^t) a correspondent and colaborer of Lucien Bonaparte, who dedicated to him the well-known Falco Cooperi. His son, James G. Cooper, was born June 19, 1830, and in 1851 graduated from the College of Physicians and Sur- geons, New York, following it by a two years' course in the city hospitals. In 1853 he was appointed surgeon to the northern division of the Pacific Railroad Survey, at the suggestion of Professor S. F. Baird, and spent some time at the Smithsonian In- stitution, preparing himself for the duties s. UQUgT 15, 1902.] SCIENCE. 269 of naturalist as w^ell as medical adviser to the party. He was one of the original group of young naturalists w^hich gathered around Professor Baird in the early days of the institution, w^ho made up the Potomac- side Naturalists Club, and whose names are classic in the annals of zoology in this coun- try. Although never robust, and for much of his life in delicate health, he survived all the others. Dr. Cooper was assigned to the w^estern division of the survey, terminating at Puget Sound, under the superintendence of Geo. B. McClellan, of the Engineer Corps of the army. Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War; the regimental quarter- master who supplied the needs of the party on the Pacific coast was U. S. Grant. Co- laborers with Cooper in working up the collections were Baird, Torrey, Asa Gray, Hayden, George Gibbs, Meek, Le Conte, and Dr. Suckley, in cooperation with whom Cooper prepared a report on the birds of Washington Territory. As usual in those days, he collected in all branches, and made a particular study of the meteorology of the region. The following year he returned to Washington to prepare his report, but was soon obliged by lung trouble to return to the more favorable climate of the Pacific coast. For several years he devoted him- self to making collections on the Pacific coast, much of the time at his private cost. During the latter part of the Civil War he was surgeon in the 2d Cavalry, California Volunteers, and served until the regiment was mustered out. In 1865 and 1866 he was naturalist to the Geological Survey of California, under Whitney, and his report on the birds of the state, after the close of the Survey, edited by Professor Baird, was published by Professor Whitney at the per- sonal cost of the latter, though in form as one of the * Reports of the State Geological Survey.' In 1866, Cooper married Miss Rosa M. Wells, and continued in the prac- tice of his profession until the failure of his health in 1871, after which his work, though often interrupted, was still pursued as his strength permitted. He was long as- sociated with the California Academy of Sciences, and also wdth the State Mining Bureau. Much of Dr. Cooper's early work was of great help and importance in devel- oping knowledge of the fauna, flora and geol- ogy of the Pacific coast. Ornithology knows him as a valuable contributor, and his most extensive works were on that branch of science. Later he published many papers on the mollusks of the coast, and the number of titles in this line of research mounts up to forty-three. Many of the younger stu- dents of zoology on the Pacific coast have testified to their appreciation of his help in guiding and promoting their studies. The Cooper Ornithological Club of California was named in his honor, and the first num- ber of its Bulletin contains a sketch of his life, up to 1899, and a portrait. To this summary we are indebted for many of the above facts. Dr. Cooper was tall and slen- der, rather reserved in manner, and his physical activity was held in check by ill health during much of his life, while for years he was dependent iipon his medical practice for support. But in spite of these handicaps his w^ork on the Pacific coast has been of primary importance, and by his death passes away the last member of a group of men to whom American zoology is permanently indebted.

Dear Cooper Club Members: THE CONDOR must go or. Through the recent years of high prices we have endeavored by every means to avoid raising the dues of the club. By private contributions, Endowment Fund, and sale of back volumes, income has been sought to cover the added cost of printing for which dues and subscriptions are inadequate. We have surrenden^ed to the inevitable. Printing and engraving costs have doubled since 1914. For nearly five years we have been publishing THE CONDOR at a loss, in spite of some annual increase in membership and subscribers, and 1923 has been the hardest year of all. For these reasons, the Board of Governors has approved a raise in dues to $3.00 per year, beginning with 1924, and we believe that the members will accept this raise with unanimous support. This raise will barely cover the cost of production. Remember that editors and business managers, in fact all officers, give their time without remuneration. Your continued support will help to make this expenditure of time and energy worth while. THE BUSINESS MANAGERS.

Sear Dr. llerriam: July 28, 1926. At the suggestion of Dr. Lawrence Martin I am writing you for advice with regard to a project for a comhined glacial and plant and animal ecological study in the region of Glacier Bay, Alaska. The enclosed document will give all the necessary details and I arn also sending you a copy of a paper by myself which will he useful in further explaining our plans. It has occurred to us that Mrs. E. H* Harriman might possihly share the deep interest in Alaska which her husband had and might, therefore, be willing to aid us financially. Dr. Martin has felt that you could advise us as to the feasibility . of making a request to Mrs. Harriman and^if you consider it feasible V as to the best method of approach. We have obtained the cordial endorsement of the American Geographical Society and the Carnegie Institution of Washington and the project is now before the national Research Council with the aoproval of the above institutions* The recent setting apart of^Glaoier Bay region as a Hational Monument was due in part to the efforts of the three prospective leaders of this expedition. I was Chairman of the Committee of the Ecological Society which conducted the campaign. Dr. Adams was a member of this Committee and Dr. Martin was of very great assistance to us. One point that I would like to emphasize is the desira- bility of periodic visits to the region extending over a long period of years, probably at intervals of five years. In 1915, as you will see from my paper, I established some permanent areas for observation on a small scale. I revisited them in 1921 with results that were decidedly worth while in spite of the small scale on which I had to work. It has seemed to me that the region presents such unique opportunities for such a study that an inves- tigation upon a much more adequate scale would be decidedly worth while. I have financed my work at Glacier Bay personally so far but I find it impossible to carry on the work on a scale that is ade quate • -a- Any adTica and asslstanot that you can give us will be vary greatly appreoiatad.

If possible, I shall show up in Washington. If not, write me v/hat I can do. Address 160 Boylston St., Boston, and your letter will be forvmrded. Very sincerely yours, (Dictated . ) / A ^ 160 BoYLSTON Street, ROOM 4. Boston, Mass.. Sept* 12.th,.. 19.0.1. Dr, C. Hart Ferriam, U. P). Department of Agriculture , Washinfiton, D. C. ¥y dear Dr. Kerriai;:- I require an assistant at the Ghicafro J^Iuseum. Pdclcv/ay*s brother went there after the death of his son: but I do not think he is quite fitted for the position, although he did his v/ork very well indeed as far as taxidermy went. Of course, this is entirely between you and me about Eidgway; but if you know of someone v/ho could take the place of young Ridgway who diedj^^fesiid v/ould be loyal to me, and would like to grow up with the Museum, Iwish you would send me his name and address. He need not be a bird expert as long as he understands something of the study, and can identify ordinary, corinnon birds at sight. ♦ I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you one of these days.

URAL HISTORY !To the Editor of Science — Sir : tRel ring to the statement in Science ;pf '4pniJ e O'tv.'^^o u^VSm v'^^HW l^x". do ei> •i 1895, page 387, tbj> of BeconScl column, that iVCJ?. [certain illustratioiis of Br^hm^s Thuxkbm^ ^ were pirajed by ihQ Standard KaturaL His- tory ^^ I beg to say that it is incorrect and libelous. The matter concerns me, as one of the authors of the iStondarc? Natural History, and also as the author of the Key to North American Birds, in sevei-al later editions of which many of the same illustrations were used by my publishers, Messrs. Estes & Lauriat, of Boston. As ^ piracy,' like pla- giarism, implies dishonesty, the allegation thus made by Dr. C. Hart Merriam, who signs the article, is too serious to be over- looked. Nevertheless, being ready to believe that Dr. Merriam erred through inadvertence, I am prepared to accept an apology, in so far as I am personally concerned; but I am not authorized to state that this will be con- sidered satisfactory by the other parties who have been thus libeled. Very truly yours, Elliott Coues. Washington, D. C, June 5, 1895. [The word piracy may be used in two senses — moral and commercial. When I wrote the article in which it was stated in- cidentally that the Brehm plates in the Standard Natural History were pirated, I be- lieved that they were in^both senses. Among the reasons for this belief may be mentioned the following : 1. The book itself contains no statement of the fact that the illustrations are taken from Brehm. 2. The anatomist Fiirbringer states that he searched in vain for a copy of the Stand- ard Natural History in Germany (Journal fiir Ornithologie, Apr., 1892, 138). 3. It is stated in the Natune Novitates, Berlin (Vol XV., No. 1, Jan., 1893, p. 18 ^* ^ I nr. 326), that the work ^may not be im- I ported into Europe on account of the re- i production of the Brehm woodcuts.' [^ Darf • in Europa wegen Nachdruck der Brehmschen Holzschnitte nicht eingefiihrt werden.'] 4. The name of the artist, Miitzel, was erased from many of the copied plates. When the attention of the editor was called to this injustice, he replied : '' The cutting u out of Miitzel's name was a business ne- ^' cessity."! If, in spite of the above facts, the cuts in question were sold to the publishers of the Standard Natural History by the publishers of Brehm's Thierleben, I withdraw so much of my original charge as may be inferred to imply commercial piracy ; but I by no meams retract the charge of moral piracy — the greater offense of the two, because it has no legal redress. Is the deliberate reproduction of another's , pictures without credit less censurable than the reproduction of another's words or ideas? And what shall one say when the sin of plagiarism is darkened by the erasure of the artist's name, so that neither artist nor author may be known? Just why Dr. Coues mentioned his Key to North American Birds, and his publisher, Estes & Lauriat, who by the way were not the publishers of the Standard Natural His- tory, is hard to understand, inasmuch as neither were mentioned in the review to which he takes exception. Since the above note was sent to Science I have received a letter from the publishers of Brehm's Thierleben in Leipsic. They state that they sold to Estes & Lauriat cer- tain electrotypes from Brehm, to be used by Estes & Lauriat only^ ' under an agreement according to which it was, forbidden to Messrs. Estes & Lauriat to resell these elec- trotypes.' They state further: " As we had been informed that notwithstanding this settlement our electrotypes had been resold, we called Messrs. Estes & Lauriat to ac- count, and they were forced to confess that they had resold the electrotypes " to three different firms! In reply to my question: "Were the electrotypes sold by you to S. E.

Hart Meeriam.1 SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE. ] Report on Water Supply ; Geological jSurvey of New Jd^sey. By Cornelius Clarkson VERMEuiE, Consulting Engineer. Vol. III. of the Final Report of ^ the State Geologist. \^ 1894. / The Geological Survey of NeW Jersey has just issued a report bearing thye above title, the interest and value of whicjfi are not lim- ited by State lines. Its autlioi*, under whose direction the topographic map of the State was made, has had the best of opportuni- ties for studying the questions involved, and has not failed to avail himself of them. The results of his study have been put in as simple and available form as possible, con- sidering the complex nature of the problems. The range of interests touched by the re- port is great. It will be of inestimable value to cities and communities which draw or may draw their supply of water from the streams of the State, and to manufacturers who use or may use the power afforded by them. Less directly, but not less certainly, the report will be of great value in the same lines outside the State, since many of the principles developed are of general and some of them of universal application. The report also contains discussions and suggestions which have a bearing on agriculture and for- estry, the latter of which is just now attract- ing wide attention in this and othei- States. The educational value of the report is great, not only to those whose financial and sani- tary interest are touched by it, but also to students of hydrogmphy and geology, and to intelligent citizens in general. From this standpoint, its value lies not only in what it proves and affirms, but also in what it disproves and denies. It is scarcely too much to say that there is not a community or a class in the State which may not be benefited by the intelligent study of the volume before us. The study of the water resources of the State was begun by Professor Cook long ago. As early as 1868 the subject was dis- cussed by him, and the annual reports of the State Geologist have since made fre- quent reference to the subject, and have reported the progress of the work, the re- sults of which are now embodied in this volume. Interest in the qujcstions of which it treats has been stimulated by the rapid gi^owth in population, especially in the vicinity of New York aiid Philadelphia. In 1882, 587,760 people in New Jersey were dependent for water upo4 systems of public supply. In 1894 this number had nearly doubled, while the anaount of daily con- sumption had increased from about 49,000,- 000 gallons to about 108,000,000. Of this amount, 100,000,000/ gallons were dra\vn from streams. If the population of the State continues to increase at the present rate for another half century, and if the demand for water keeps pace with the in- crease in population, as is sure to be the case, it is evident that another half century will make heavy demands upon the available supply of water which the State affords. On the basis of the recent rate bf increase in population, it is estimated that by 1950 that part of !New Jersey adjacent to Newj York City will need 547,000,000 gallons of water daily; and the author remarks thai " since fifty years cannot be considered 6 long time in the future for which to mak( provision, it is evident that the time ha; come for us to know what our resources ar^ and to provide for their preservation an^ wise development" (p. 6).

There are claims, by English writers, of growth stimulation and retardation "by electric currents, but our oareful investigators are unable to confirm these all#g#d electrical effects. Is it not posaible that the phenoaena you cite are the result of the reduction of ligat as the growing tips approach the overhanging branches. Many planta, especially conifers, are extremely sensitive to seemingly small differences in the amount of light they receive* I suggest that you test the differenoea in light in the growing and non-growing situations by means of the actinometer that you uss in de- termining the proper exposure of a photographic plate. Tlis 'best way to keep a soil acid is to start with it aoid, making up a mixture of one part of clean sand or «Murt8 gararel to about two parts of your aoid upland peat formation (the half rotted leaf layer that you find in your Tlrgla forest), and then keep it aoid by sifting ower it once a year an inch or so of the aame upland peat or about six inches of tli« freshly fallen !««▼•• fton which the peat is formed.

Dear Dr. Merrian: The Research Committee of the National Geographic Society has taken action lately on a subject in which you will undoubtedly be interested. At a meeting laat Wednes- day I presented a memorandum, a copy of which I enclose here- with. The members present were: Sheldon, Hugh M. Smith, Gros- ▼enor, Morlay, Scofield, Philip s. Smith. Coville. After dii- cussion the coiramittee adopted the following resolution: RESOLVED: 1. 2. 3. A. 5. That the Society undertake the publication of a series of research papers to be known as •^Memoirs of the National Geographic Society.** That the net cost of this series shall be paid out of the research fund of the Society. That copies of the Memoirs shall be offered for sale at approximately publication cost through advertisement oy the national Geographic Society. That publication in this series be limited to papers resulting from expeJitions financed by the National Geographic Society. That the chairman of the Research Committee appoint a coiTimittee oa publication, of which he shall be a member, to proceed with the publication of the Mem- oirs* The action of the committee was unanimous, every one being con%-incecl that the establishment of a series of techni- \ CHIf-2- cal papers would be a good thing for ©cience and a good thing for the Society. Unless you are coming back to Washins-ton soon so tjiat I can talk -.ith you about it, I ohould like to hare com- ■tntB from you on the proposed series of Memoir© and I shottld like especially your opinion on the following points: !• Shall tha Memoirs he numbered consecutively, each h&* ginning with page 1, or shall they be arranged in volumae? 2m What Bhall be the size of the page?. 3* Shall the "text be printed on the page in single a«^: umn or in double column? 4. What Bize type shall be used and shall it be leaded or not leaded? 5. Shall half-tone text figures be used and, if so, shall full page plates be run on the presses with the text, or shall all half-tones be printed on special plate paper separately from the text? I hare asked Dr. F. L, Ransome of the Geolor-ical Sur- rey and Mr. C. S* Scofield of the Bureau of Plant Industry, to serre with me as members of the publication coimnittee. Both hmre had axperience in scientific publication, having been edi- tors of the Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences. Dr* Ransome In particular was one of those who determined the type, paper, methods of citation, c^nd various other features of the Journal at the time it was begun. The oomaittee also authorized the publication of Grigg^s narrative of the Katmai expeditions as the first of the Memoirs.

The others I am keeping. These are remarkably beauti- ful examples of the Joshua- tree. The one shown in your photo- graphs 31 and 80 is a beautiful specimen. I hope you can give me a close estimate of the height of this tree. You will be interested to know that this species was actually found within Death Valley in the upper part of Grapevine Canyon. I had supposed that the Joshua-tree did not grow in Death Valley until I saw it in that canyon two years ago. Another tree species of Yucca, Yucca mohavensis, also grows in Death Valley in the upper part of Cave Springs Wash. We are therefore able to include both these Yuccas in the Death Valley flora.

Dear Sir: On Tu^i-day laet , I stHrted dcnvn to you the skull of the mother of Little Willie Knd. a few other skulls from the Port Mc%ller repion of the Aleutian Peninsula, v'hich I thought you might be inter- ested to se^i again at the present time. Thei?e are two skulls of female hears, ti/i'o ^ulls of yec^rlinr cuhs, (the cuhs of one of the<",e fe^.ales) and the skull of an adult bull of medium size. The female hear seem to be the avarap^e size of full pvo^fin cow hears of this ripion and all three are ^^ry nearly the same sizej i^e. some six feet long at most between stakes rhjn laid out in a natur^.l position. This seemed to he a good der^l smaller than the average size of full- grcv.Tj females in the Kenai as far as I was able to find cut or observe for myself this year and makes a stranre difference in size between the bulls and cov;s. A couple of these skulls are from bear killed by the man whom we took up with us, on days when he was out hunting with, me and I was afte^' lar.^^er specimens, and werejbrought out by him. In case you should think it .sic^^n be of interest to have the skull of the mother of Little Willie in Washington, as the cub is now r there, I hope you will keep this one' pe rmanently. I have also started to you for your inspection the skin of the bear I killed last fall in the Kenai. As I said in m^ previous letter this was one of two cubs stil.. with their mother- (whom I lost BOYDEN. PALFREY. BRADLEE .Jc TWOMBLY. Dr. C. H. M.-~2 in the heavy "bru^h) so I presume it to have "been some eirhtean months old. The skin has shrunk a crood de^.l in drying as when ^^Q^n it me asured over six feet, i. e. some six and a half feet or more, v/ith- out stretching uaaaturally as well as I could tell* I am trying hard to recover the skull of this bear and will let you know how E succeed and I shall send the skull on to if I an >uccessful. Of course I feel very sore about this last for I would rather even have lost the hide, and there was no excuse for such a mistc.ke beinr made as not sending it on to me with the hide. The only reason I spoke in ny last note of the Cassiar Grizzly beyond the fact that I have always been interested in them wa s that Dr. Jason Mixter told me on his return from Washington recently that you had said you v/ould like to se 3 the skulls from these bears again and sugp-ested that we dismount the bear. So I thought I would let you know, as I told Dr. Mixter, that if you really cared to examine these skulls, I should be glad to have the one in ray possession fixed to cro down to you. Also as regards my suggestion about obtain- ing an adult specimen of the Kenai bear,- I realized of course that you had all the facilities to -mnage such if you v/c.nted to do so and merely thought this man Swesey, the prospector v/hom I spoke of find- ing last fall, was especially trustv/orthy and dependable and v/a^ right on the srot.
