Abstract
IN NATURE of July 1 there appears an advertisement asking for applications for a post under the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, which requires a botanist with an honours degree and at least two years experience of research in systematic botany. The starting salary offered is £155 per annum. We would like to point out that this salary is not only incommensurate with the training required, but is also far below the normal salaries obtaining in Government departments for men of science holding equivalent qualifications.
