them. T liave not recommended a location for the educational 

 iiiStitution. There are a great many other (questions that I have 

 not gone into- These cjuestions cannot be settled in a day or 

 by an individual. 



This is too Ijig a matter for an individual to undertake 

 single-handed or even for a Missionary Si>ciety to be resjjonsible 

 for. It is the Government that grants the license and decides 

 on the qualifications necessary for such license, and it should l>e 

 the Government, through its Medical Education Board, thit 

 should decide on what examinations should be passed, and what 

 course of study should be conii)Ieted before the examinations art- 

 taken. It seems to some of us who have talked the matter over 

 that the rational and pro])er course would be for the (iovernment 

 to appoint a commission to go into this wdiole matter and make 

 recommendations to the (rovernment relative to the betterment 

 of conditions, medicallx. among the natives, with s])ecial reference 

 to the desirability and practicability of giving a medical education 

 to some of our most advanced native vouths.

Electrical Conductivity of Milk. — Tn a paper 



read by Dr. U. S. H. W'ardlaw before the Linnean Society of 

 New South Wales,* an account is given of an investigation into 

 the relation between the fat-content and the electrical conduc- 

 tivity of milk. The author found that removal of fat ifrom milk 

 increases the electrical conductivity, the increase in a given 

 sample of milk being directly proixirtional to the volume of fat 

 removed. The increase of conductivity due to the removal of 

 a given amount of fat is not the same in difTerent samples of 

 milk, but the average increase of conductivity due to the removal 

 of I per cent, by volume of fat is i .5 per cent.
