Amadeus W. Grabau( 1870—1946) was a world-famous paleontologist and geologist in the 20 thcentury. After coming to China in 1920,he made indispensable contributions to the development of the Chinese geological sciences. He was also concerned with the biological sciences in China. As the result of an appeal by him and his encouragement,the Peking Society of Natural History( PSNH) was founded in 1925. This Society attracted almost all the famous scholars interested in the biological sciences in Peking( Beijing) and beyond,and issued the Peking Natural History Bulletin,a very important journal at that time. In addition,the Society also vigorously promoted biological studies in China by organizing regular lectures,annual meetings,excursions,and natural history awards( the King Medal). A scientific community formed around Grabau,which included not only his Chinese colleagues and students,but also many foreign scientists. The study of the PSNH and its Bulletin can help us to understand the internationalization and academic standards of the scientific community in Peking at that time.
