. Science-gossip . hrown I trouble you to consider if you could intro-duce me to a correspondent similar to Mr. Weir ?—someone who has a larger mind than the every-day specialist-naturalist. There is much a truelover of nature could learn from me, although Ihardly know the Latin name of a single was the first to draw attention in print to thetree-kangaroo of Queensland, in my novel, TheBlack Police. In return for such help, I want tobe posted with the latest thoughts of the broad-minded naturalists with whom my correspondentcomes in contact. I would like also to havecertain questions answered from time to time as tospecimens I might send.

Canyou recommend any person who would care tocorrespond with me?—A. J. Vogan, Taxiranga, Bayof Plenty, New Zealand. SCIENCE-GOSSIP. 195.
