382 POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY week the congress went to Woods Uoll, where they were shown all that the laboratories held. A pleasing feature of this visit was the reading of a letter from Dr. Dohrn, of the Naples Zoolog- ical Station, regretting his inability to be present, and the sending to him of a warm message of regard, signed by all in attendance. In the afternoon of Sunday the members embarked on the Fishhauk, on their way to New York, a sample dredging being made so that all might see the method employed by the Bureau of Fisheries in exploring the local waters. The excursion ^vas continued in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, the members being elaborately enter- tained in each city, with special refer- ence to the scientific and zoological interests. Thus in New York a day each was devoted to Columbia Univer- sity, the American Museum of Natural History, the Station for Experimental Evolution of the Carnegie Institution at Cold Spring Harbor, New York, the Zoological Park and a trip up the Hudson to Garrison as guests of Pro- fessor Osborn. On Saturday there were trips to Yale and Princeton. On Monday and Tuesday in Philadelphia the members visited the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Zoological Gar- den, the American Philosophical So- ciety and the University of Pennsyl- vania. At Washington the visitors were welcomed by Secretary Wilson and shown under the most favorable auspices the vast work being accom- plished for science by the national gov- ernment. A trip to Niagara Falls and the University of Toronto completed the excursion, which had been remark- ably well arranged and with which the foreign delegates expressed themselves as more than pleased.
