E, 'Wheeler, director of the museum, Mrs. Wheeler, Edith Wheeler, and Billy Crosby, have just returned from Ann Arbor, Mich., where they attended the meetings of the American Malaco logical Union. This group of men and women represent the scientific study of the mollusca, some being specialists on land shells, others on marine shells, while some devote their attention to fresh water species. The present-day students are more concerned with the hab its and relations of the animals than with the mere collecting of shells. Among the 50 or more members who came from various sections of the United States, Canada, and Cuba, were Dr. Carlo de la Torre, of Havana, Cuba, one of the best known of scientists, now 82 years old, but still very active and en gaged in the writing of. scientific monographs. Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, of the Academy of Natural Scientists, Philadelphia, is perhaps the most voluminous writer of all times, at least in his field. Dr. Paul Bartsch is the grand old man of the na tional museum. There1 were many women who find increasing inspira tion in the study "of shells. The' Highlands group made hur ried visits' to the museums in To ledo, Ohio, and Cincinnati, but found the University museums at Ann Arbor of great educational value and interest. The party stop ped to do, a little field work, bring ing back some splendid specimens of celestite for exhibit, and a small collection of land shells. Dr. Allan F. Archer, a recent graduate of the University of Mich igan, took his doctor's degree on a thesis devoted largely to the study of a special group of Southern land shel)s, and will shortly be in High lands for the. continuation of his studies. : ' . !' .. Through the generosity of some of the members of the museum a wonderful exhibit, of fluorescent minerals has been made possible. The ultra-violet lamp, and cabinet have been installed in a temporary dark room, and the fluorescent minerals from North Carolina, Geor gia, and other sections of the world have been, installed. Visitors are al ways welcome to come in and see the ever-changing exhibits at the museum. It is hoped that later in the month a motorcade party -will be organized to visit Asheville and under the personal guidance of Mr. B. S. Colburn, visit his great mu seum, which is located in Biltmore Forest. Through the kindness of Dr. O. S. Gibbs, the museum has acquired a small collection of locally col lected moths and butterflies, and these have been splendidly prepar ed. Several of the younger work ers in the museum have been add ing to this collection but many specie known to inhabit this region are still lacking.
