NOTICES. 



I. We are requested by Dr Martin Barry to state, that, at the time of 

 presenting his " Second Series'' of " Researches on Embryology" to the 

 Royal Society (of which an abstract was given in our last Number), he was 

 not aware that the fact regarding Spermatozoa reaching the surface of the 

 Ovaiy, had been pre\'iously discovered by Dr Bischof of Heidelberg. 



II. The important Biogiaphical Memoir of Watt, occupying so large a 

 portion of the present number of the Journal, obliges us to delay till our 

 next publication, several communications we intended to have laid before 

 our readers at this time.
