with a representative series of quadrupeds and birds; very many of these specimens have been presented by the Royal Scottish Museum, and of the birds some of the choicest specimens are the gifts of two Fifeshire ornithologists, Miss E. Baxter and Miss L. Rintoul. A beginning has been made of an Anthropological collection, and additions to this collection (especially skulls of the various races of men) are very earnestly desired, for teaching purposes. The upper hall contains, in the first place, a considerable collection of fishes, among which are many illustrations of the eggs and young of various food-fishes from the neighbourhood of St Andrews and of salmon from the Tay, the work of Professor M'Intosh. There are also collections of insects, shells, corals, and other invertebrate animals. In table-cases in the southern corridor will be found a small but very useful collection of minerals, arranged by the late Professor Heddle; and hard by is a valuable and important series of the famous fossil fishes of Dura Den. Various rockspecimens and fossils form the nucleus (but as yet no more than the nucleus) of a geological collection. The Museum is largely frequented by visitors, schoolchildren, and others, as a place of popular or elementary instruction in Natural History. For the teaching of advanced zoology its collections are not yet such as they should be, and old students and others, in various parts of the world, are invited to help to enrich it. GIFFORD LECTURESHIP IN NATURAL This Lectureship was founded in 1887 by the late Adam Gifford, sometime one of the Senators of the College of Justice, who bequeathed to the University the sum of £15,000 (less legacy duty) for the purpose of establishing a "Lectureship, or Popular Chair, for promoting, advancing, teaching, and diffusing the study of Natural Theology, in the widest sense of that term." It is provided in the Trust Disposition and Settlement, executed by Lord Gifford, that the Lecturer shall be appointed from time to time by the Senatus Academicus for a period of two years and no longer, but the same Lecturer may be reappointed for other two periods of two years each. The Lecturer appointed shall be subjected to no test of any kind, and shall not be required to take any oath, or to emit or subscribe any declaration of belief, or to make any promise of any kind. He may be of any religious denomination whatever, or of no denomination at all. The subject is to be treated as a strictly natural science; and the Lectures are to be public and popular, open not only to students of the University, but to the whole community without matriculation. Besides a general and popular audience, the Lecturer may form a special class of students for the study of the subject, which will be conducted in the usual way, and tested by examination and thesis, written and oral.
