Abstract

THE list of New Year Honours includes the names of two well-known men of science—Sir Joseph Fayrer, K.C.S.I., who has been made a baronet, and Prof. Prestwich, who has been knighted. If long and distinguished services to the cause of science count for anything, both Sir Joseph Fayrer and Prof. Prestwich have well earned the honours conferred upon them. Mr. H. H. Johnston, C.B., has been promoted to the Knighthood of the Bath; but this is probably more on account of his administrative work in recent years than for his explorations in Africa.
