The Committee, representing the Royal Society and the University of 
Sheffield, appointed to administer the Sorby Research Fellowship Fund, 
will proceed to the election of a Fellow after Easter. The object of the

in natural knowledge by enabling men of proved ability to devote them- 
selves to research. The appointment will be for five years, subject to 
regulations, a copy of which may be obtained on application to the Royal 
Society. “The emoluments of the Fellow will be approximately £500 per 
annum. The Fellow elected will be expected to pursue his investigations 
at the University of Sheffield unless the nature of the investigation requires 
that the work should be done elsewhere ; he will be expected to enter upon 
his duties as soon after election as possible. 
Applications from candidates for the Fellowship will be received by the 
Secretaries of the Royal Society, at Burlington House, London, W., up to 
April 20. Each application should contain a brief statement of the scien- 
tific career of the candidate, including his previous work, and a statement,
