Abstract
OXFORD.—The 194th meeting of the Junior Scientific Club was held in the Physiological Lecture Room of the Museum at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 16. After the election of new members, Mr. A. F. Walden (New College) brought forward his motion respecting the appointment of a Committee to act with the Treasurer of the Robert Boyle Lecture Fund. The motion was carried, and the Club elected Mr. A. E. Boycott (Oriel) and Mr. A. S. Elford (St. John's) to serve on the Committee. Mr. A. D. Darbishire (Balliol) read a paper on natural selection among Lepidoptera. His remarks were illustrated by several cases of butterflies. Mr. J. E. Marsh (Balliol) followed with a paper on the constitution of camphor, in which he attempted to survey all the recent work on the subject. MR. ERNEST WILSON has been appointed professor of electrical engineering at King's College, London, in succession to the late Dr. John Hopkinson.
