Indian Scientists.

THE following references to Indian Scientists, which appear in the course of an introductory article on the Indian Science Congress in the Times of India, will be read with special interest. Of Professor Shiv Ram, Kashyap, M.Sc., one of the Punjab members of the Congress, it says:-“In the section of pure botany the chair is to be taken by Mr. Kashyap, one of those quiet workers in an obscure field of knowledge of plants, who amass the data which form the basis of science. His field of study is the mosses and liverworts — groups of plants hitherto little known or studied in this country.” Of Dr. D.N. Mallick, another well-known scientist, the writer says:-“Dr. D.N. Mallick, who occupies the chair in the section of physics and mathematics, is one of the most distinguished exponents of these subjects in North-East India, and is well-known for his own investigations.”
