Abstract
THE two contributions to science referred to below1 form part of the publications issued by the University of Aberdeen when the quatercentenary of its foundation was celebrated in September of last year. When men move northwards to occupy chairs in the most outlying university of the kingdom, it has been said that the isolation and absence of external incentives are apt to cause a premature cooling of their zeal for science. However that may be, these two volumes contain convincing evidence that in recent years Aberdeen University has been able to produce graduates who are both willing and able to widen the bounds of real knowledge.
