Abstract
THE appointment of Prof. Edward Hindle, regius professor of zoology in the University of Glasgow, to the post of scientific director of the Zoological Society of London, is in implementation of the policy, decided on more than a year ago, to replace the paid secretary of the Society by an honorary secretary in accordance with the practice of most learned societies. It was then foreseen that it would also be necessary to have another officer who would carry out much of the work performed by the former paid secretary. Dr. Hindle, as the first occupant of the new post now created, will therefore be mainly concerned in organizing all the more scientific branches of the Society's work, such as the scientific meetings, the publications and the library, as well as the prosectorium ; he will also deal with scientific problems concerning the collections of animals at Regent's Park and Whipsnade.
