Clifton, M.A., will give a course of Lectures on Experimental Optics, on Wednesdays and Fridays, at twelve o'clock, commencing October 20, at the Physical Laboratory, University Museum. The Physical Laboratory of the University will be open daily for instruction in Practical Physics, from ten to four o'clock, on and after Thursday, October 19. The Linacre Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, G. Rolleston, D.M., will lecture on Circulation and Respiration, on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, at one o'clock, commencing October 20, at the Museum. The Professor proposes to form classes for Practical Instruction, as in former terms. Persons who join these classes will come to the lectures on Saturdays at one o'clock, and will also come to the Museum on three mornings in the week for study and demonstration, under the superintendence of Mr. Charles Robertson, the Demonstrator of Anatomy, and Mr. C.
