* We are not quite certain with regard to the author of this paper. 

 Birch merely says, " Mr. Ashe." The Minutes of the British Museum, how- 

 ever, state that this paper was contributed by Thomas Ashe, Esq, We 

 know not who this gentleman was— if a member of the Philosophical Society 

 he would increase the number to 40. 



f Human dissections were very rare in Dublin at that period. Mr. Pat- 

 terson's communications to the PhUcsophical Society were founded upon the 

 examination of the body of a malefactor procured by Dr., afterwards Sir P. 

 Dun, to make a skeleton of. Mr. W Molyneaux says he "was constant at 

 the dissection, and nothing curious was done, but only the chirurgeons and 

 physicians that were present spoke at random as the parts presented them- 

 selves." This is the first notice of a dissection in Ireland that we have seen 

 recorded. See University Magazine, vol. xviii. p. 479.
