Mr. Garnett is also giving a more elementary experimental course of lectures on Mechanics and Hydrostatics, adapted to candidates for the First M.B. and First Part of the Natural Sciences Tripos. Prof. Stuart's workshop will be open for pupils this term at the New Museums. Practical instruction in the use of tools in wood or metal is provided, and further practical instruction for those who already have a sufficient knowledge of the use of the tools. During the present term his lectures will be on Mechanism. Mr. W. J, Lewis, M.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, has been incorporated as M.A. of Cambridge, and entered at Trinity College, Prof. W. H. Miller, F.R., Professor of Mineralogy, being in ill-health, Mr. W. J. Lewis has been appointed his deputy for twelve months, and Prof. Miller has assigned two-thirds of his whole annual stipend to his deputy. Mr. Lewis has for some time been working very assiduously in the Mineralogical Museum, and is now lecturing on Mineralogy, while in the Easter Term he intends to lecture on Crystallography and Crystallographic Physics. Next term Prof. Stuart's lectures will be on the Theory of Structures. Prof. Challis's lectures on Practical Astronomy are postponed on account of ill-health. Prof. Cayley will lecture this term on Differential Equations.
