Abstract
IT is customary in some countries, particularly in Germany, to honour a distinguished man of science on the anniversary of his sixtieth or sixty-fifth birthday by the issue of a volume containing papers written for the occasion by former pupils and other friends and admirers. In order to preserve the element of surprise for the Jubilar, it is understood that the matter is kept a secret. Dr. Embrik Strand, professor of zoology and director of the Systematic-Zoological Institute and of the Hydrobiological Station of the University of Lettland at Riga, evidently did not like the usual proceeding and, dispensing with secrecy, invited all and sundry to send manuscripts for a festive publication in commemoration of the anniversary of his sixtieth birthday.
