VIII. The Institute of Hydrology and Climatology 

 includes the following laboratories, among others: Water 

 Analysis, at the Sorbonne (Urbain, director); Physical 

 Chemistry, at the Ecole Superieure de Pharmacie 

 (Moureu, director). 



IX. There are also chemical laboratories in the 

 various institutes and schools of agriculture, horticulture, 

 veterinary medicine, etc., which abound in the capital 

 and its environs, as well as at the iLcole Municipale de 

 Chimie. 



Provincial Universities. Opportunities for study and 

 research in chemistry at the other universities are far less 

 varied than at Paris, and in the different institutions 

 are decidedly unequal. In some instances, as at Nancy, 

 every department of the science is represented, and the 

 student has every necessary opportunity at his disposal. 

 But in certain smaller institutions each faculty has but 

 a single chair of chemistry. The subject is, however, 

 always represented in both the faculty of sciences and 

 the faculty (or "ficole preparatoire ") of medicine; it is 

 also represented in certain "Facultes libres;" and there 

 are, of course, in connection with the schools of medicine, 

 various chairs which are chiefly concerned with one or 

 another aspect of the more fundamental science. In 

 some instances, there are also institutes of chemistry 

 and applied chemistry affiliated with the university 

 faculties. It should be distinctly understood that some 

 of the best chemists in France are to be found in the
