Abstract
IN this week's issue appears the last group of notes of the Calendar of Discovery and Invention which I have had the pleasure of contributing to NATURE during the past year. This calendar has aimed at recalling some of the most important advances in science and some of the principal mechanical inventions, and is supplementary to the Calendars of Scientific and Industrial Pioneers which appeared in 1921 and 1922. In the preparation of these notes I have received assistance from many sources, and I should like to take this opportunity of thanking Dr. W. Clark, Mr. A. Gomme, Mr. B. A, Behrend, Dr. R. T. Gunther, and Sir Charles Sherrington for their kindness in placing information at my disposal. The late Dr. Daydon Jackson also kindly sent several interesting notes, which were included in the Calendar, referring to botany and the Linnean Society.
