The last paper, it should be noted, was made a special order of the day, to begin at 4.30 p.m.; it was given at the request of the authorities of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, to present the conclusions of a committee of the A. A. A. S. to investigate the relation of linguistic science to the natural and physical sciences. This committee consisted of Prof. Sapir, Chairman; Prof. G. M. Bolling; Prof. B. E. Livingston. Adjournment was taken at 5.20 p.m. This meeting surpassed all previous meetings in the attendance of scholars; in the offering of papers; and in the coordination of Oriental, classical, modern, and Americanist themes. It marks a decided step forward in linguistic studies in this country, and with the foundation of the Linguistic Institute, makes 1928 a notable year for 'the advancement of the scientific study of language' in America, which is the purpose of the Linguistic Society of America.
