Passing on to the sister University, some of our readei-s liave 

 unfortunately been led by Dr. Lankester's article to tliink that the 

 two lectureships named by him, as having been recently established, 

 are the only chairs in natural science in the University ; but this 

 impression is not correct. At Cambridge there are professorships 

 of physic, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, and experimental 

 philosophy, anatomy, botany, geology, a second of astronomy, 

 geometry, medicine, natural and experimental philosojohy, minera- 

 logy, and archaeology ; and examinations in all those subjects, as 

 weU as in mechanical and applied science. 



Of London University it is hardly necessary to speak. Its 

 numerous scholarships and its degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of 

 Science have done as much, perhaps more than any institution 

 in the world, for the promotion of scientific education. Nor must 

 the large public schools and colleges in London and the provinces 

 which are connected with it be overlooked. Of these it is only 

 necessary to mention University and King's Colleges, London; 

 Owen's College, at Manchester ; Queen's Colleges, at Birmingham 

 and Liverpool, to remind our readers that great eflbrts are made 

 to provide scientific instruction for those who seek it. 



The Scotch Universities have not been idle. One of our corre- 

 spondents, who complains that justice has not been done to Edin-
