An Improved IProspecting Pick After years of experience the American Museum of Natural History
has developed what is considered a perfect tool of the kind, of drop- forged highest grade 85 carbon tool steel, with a perfect eye extended so as to secure the full purchase power of the handle. A metal bar inset over the head of the handle and riveted insures a perfect fit during the life of the tool regardless of shrinkage or number of times the pick is removed from the handle. Length of metal head fifteen inches, length of handle twenty-one and one-half inches, total weight one pound and ten ounces.
These picks are available to coworkers at cost price, $4.50.

S C I E N T I F I C Publications The Printing for which
THE SCIENCE PRESS Was Established
Equipped for printing scientific literature in the best way, with compositors, pressmen and proof-readers trained for technical work. It is a business corporation but it has been founded to provide facilities essential for the advancement of science.
The corporation owns its building at Lancaster, Penn- sylvania, over 14,000 square feet of floor space lighted on all sides, with space for printing a hundred scientific journals. It has the best obtainable presses, composing machinery and binding equipment. What is more important, it has the most competent pressmen and compositors in a city which, since "Science" was first printed there in 1894, has become a center for fine scientific printing. The costs are much less than in the large cities.
The press prints "The Scientific Monthly," "Science," "School and Society," "The American Naturalist" and some twenty other scientific journals and publications. The typog- raphy and presswork of these journals will bear comparison with any weekly or monthly publication, although, for ex- ample, "Science" must be printed mostly in one day in an edition of over 14,000. The new edition of "The Biographi- cal Directory of American Men of Science" is an example of the work of the press. It can, to special advantage, print scientific monographs and doctorate dissertations.
Samples of work and estimates of costs will be supplied on application.

By JOHN KUNKEL SMALL
THIS Manual replaces the author's Flora of the Southeastern United States, published in 1903 (second edition 1913), for the Southern States east of the

The Manual is the only complete illustrated work on the flora of the South- east by a recognized authority.
In addition to analytical keys to the various plant groups, and descriptions of the orders, families, genera, and species, regional or altitudinal and geographic distributi,on, there are xxii + 1554 pages and over 1500 illustrations, one illustra- tion of a species of each genus.
