    testimonials of fitness for the still more important position which he is now desirous of obtaining. I can, however, have no hesitation in expressing the opinion, which a lengthened acquaintance with Dr. Clouston has enabled me to form, that it would be impossible to select a candidate more fully qualified or more highly accomplished than he is in every respect. J. W. BEGBIE. Edinburgh, Januarg 1, 1872. From William Turner, M.B. (Lond.), F.R.S.E., F.R.C.S.E., Professor of Anatomy, University of Edinburgh. March 24, 1863. Dr. Thos. S. Clouston having applied to me for a testimonial, I have great pleasure in stating that I know him to be a man of much intelligence and ability. * He has worked with zeal and success at the Comparative Anatomy of the Nervous System, and I have perused with pleasure and instruc¬ tion his memoir published in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. Pie has enjoyed, during his lengthened residence at Morningside, excellent opportunities of making himself well acquainted with the various duties required to be performed by the medical head of an Asylum for the Insane. I believe that the special training he has received, combined with his scientific and general aptitude, render him thoroughly fitted to undertake and perform with success the duties of the office for which he is now a candidate.
