Abstract

LAST week we printed an article advocating the claims of M. Giard to the new Chair of Darwinism in Paris. We are now informed that the appointment will certainly be offered to M. Giard, and that, if he declines it, it will be offered to Prof. Perrier, of the Paris Museum of Natural History. It is generally desired that the Chair should be connected with the Faculty of Sciences in the Sorbonne. M. Liard, the Director of Superior Instruction, in the Department of Public Instruction, is favourable to the whole scheme, and hopes are expressed that the lectures may be begun in the course of two or three months.
