During the past year a Committee of the Council have devoted some time to a readjustment of the salaries hitherto paid to some of the Lecturers, and have also considered the appointment of the Medical Lecturers. The result has been that a small amount has been deducted from some salaries ; and the Council are thus enabled to pay salaries to several Lecturers who have hitherto only received class-fees from their students. The Medical Lecturers have also received notice that their appointments will be deemed to be for the term of three years dating from the Ist of November, 1891. Several of the Lecturers in the Medical School—Drs. Batchelor, Colquhoun, and Ferguson—have received leave of absence for visits to England; and Dr. William Brown and Dr. H. W. Maunsoll have forwarded some valuable models and diagrams for the Medical School museum. Dr. L. S. Barnett has been to act in Dr. Colquhoun's absence. I— E. 6.
