All the grants made under this head for 1915-16, together with grants from the Development Fund, and to universities and university colleges, are shown in the subjoined statement from the ninth annual report of the British Science Guild. The provision which is now being made for research gives topical interest to the facts here brought together. E GRANTS FOR SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION.
