tea. At eight o'clock comes the clinical lec- 

 ture of Ringseis. As Ringseis is introduc- 

 ing an entirely new medical system, this is 

 not wholly without general physiological and 

 philosophical interest. At ten o'clock Stahl 

 lectures, five times a week, on mechanics as 

 preliminary to physics. These and also the 

 succeeding lectures, given only twice a week 

 on the special natural history of amphibians 

 by Wagler, we all attend together. From 

 twelve to one o'clock we have nothing settled 

 as yet, but we mean to take the lectures of 

 DoUinger, in single chapters, as, for instance, 

 when he comes to the organs of the senses. 

 At one o'clock we go to dinner, for which we 

 have at last found a comfortable and regular 

 place, at a private house, after having dined 

 everywhere and anywhere, at prices from nine 

 to twenty kreutzers. Here, for thirteen kreut- 

 zers ^ each, in company with a few others, 

 mostly known to us, we are provided with a 

 good and neatly served meal. After dinner 

 we go to Dr. Waltl, with whom we study 

 chemistry, using Gmelin's text-book, and are 

 shown the most important experiments. Next 

 week we are to begin entomology with Dr. 

 Berthy, from three to four, three times a week. 



* About nine cents of our money.
