The total number of scholars at these schools was thus 69! 
in 1887-8, as against 729 in 188G-7, and 711 in 1885-6. Ii 
the previous year's official summary it was mentioned also thai 
there were 281 pupils at the Buda-Pesth Veterinary Collegt 
(established in 1787), and 366 at the Academy of Mining anc 
Forestry at Schemnitz (founded in 1807). 
In addition to the seven agricultural lower schools main- 
tained by the State, there are four for vine- culture and one for 
forestry. There are also three schools receiving Government 
grants — at Istvantelek (established 1875, and under the control 
of the Hungarian Agricultural Society), and at Besztercze and 
Foldvar. These two last are in Transylvania, where also is 
another school (at Medgyes) which receives no subvention. 
The total expense to the Hungarian Government for Agricul- 
tural Education is given in the last Budget as 36,250/. Next 
year this will be rather increased than diminished.

and in the laboratory. An interesting report 2 lately issued 
by the Austrian Government shows that there are now 11 
agricultural experimental stations in that country: of -which
