Abstract

A LETTER has been addressed by Dr. Anton Dohrn to the Colleges, and other, bodies of the University of Oxford, giving an account of the cost, extent, and purposes of his zoological establishment at Naples, pointing out the incalculable advantages furnished by the establishment to students of biology, and urging that at least one out of the many fellowships belonging to Oxford should be devoted to the purpose of affording a suitable man the opportunity of pursuing the practical study of biology at the Naples station. We have already printed the Report presented to the British Association by M. Dohrn, from which It will be seen that the University of Cambridge has hired a table; we believe the University of Oxford has refused to do so, and hence this appeal to the separate Colleges, by M. Dohrn. Let us hope that at least one of these bodies will come forward and maintain the credit of the University.
