By Professor A. P. Thomas, F.L.S. Professor A. P. Thomas, F.L.S., delivered a popular lecture on “Pasteur, Koch, and their Work.” The lecturer gave a brief sketch of the career of Pasteur, especially alluding to his researches into the nature of tartaric acid, into fermentation, and to his discovery of a remedy for the silkworm-disease pebrine; also to his more recent investigations into the nature of hydrophobia. A similarly interesting account was given of the scientific work of Koch, and the lecture closed with an account of the methods in use at the present time in studying the life-history of micro-organisms, and the probable direction which future research would take. The lecture was illustrated with the lantern.
