THE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE LIGHT ORGAN IN FIREFLIES

s of papers presented before the regular sectional meetings of the Academy and other matters of general interest to Members, and are published monthly from November to June, inclusive. Current numbers of the Annals and Transactions are sent free to all Members of the Academy desiring them. (3) The Special Publications, established in 1939, are issued at irregular intervals as cloth-bound volumes. The price of each volume will be advertised at
