PROFESSOR BICKERTON.

[Fkoai Our Cokrespoxuext.] DUNEDIN, October 12.

After counselling Professor Bickerton to restrain a certain volatility, not to say eccentricity, of tongue and pen when speaking to scientific audiences in England or writing for scientific readers, the "Star" says:—"We hope Dunedin will not be backward in contributing to the fund which Christchurch citizens are endeavouring to raise in order to enable Professor Bickerton to proceed to England and place his theory in proper form before the scientific world. The sentiment of pfltriotism may be reasonably supported in the movement, for who knows but that the name of Bickerton may, lii centuries to come, be one of the chief glories of New Zealand's roll of fame."
