NEWS GLEANINGS. 



Professor A. Francis Dixon. 



It is with much satisfaction that we record the appointment of Dr. A. 

 Francis Dixon to the Chair of Anatomy at Dublin University vacated by 

 the transfer of Professor Cunningham to Fklinburgh. lyike his illustrious 

 predecessor. Dr. Dixon adds to a thorough knowledge of human 

 anatomy a keen interest ^in zoological science. His early work in 

 Ireland on the anatomy of sea anemones will always be remembered by 

 naturalists, and we trust, now that he has returned to Dublin, he will 

 find time to advance our knowledge of Irish natural history.
