Abstract
THE Municipal Council of Paris proposes to establish in the Faculty of Sciences a new professorship devoted to the philosophy of biology, and especially to the teaching of the doctrines of Darwin. This distresses some of the older French zoologists, but “their reign,” a correspondent writes to us from Paris, “is coming to an end, and notwithstanding their obstinate and unintelligent opposition, Darwinism is the creed of all the younger French naturalists. The only trouble with regard to the new professorship will be to put the right man in the right place.”
