Abstract
(1) IT is a somewhat melancholy reflection for those who had the pleasure of listening to Prof. Driesch's brilliant lectures on “Vitalism” at Kings College last year, that owing to the outbreak of the present war Prof. Driesch may be at this moment engaged in armed conflict with some of his then hearers. Few German men of science had more friends in England than Prof. Driesch, and few had a warmer appreciation of England. One of his very earliest pieces of work was accomplished in the marine station at Plymouth.
