    II. Fi 'orn James S. Brazier, Esq., Professor of Chemistry in the University of A berdeen. Mr. Francis Ogston graduated as an M.B. and C.M. in this Uni¬ versity during the past year. He had previously attended the course of Theoretical Chemistry under my instruction during the Wintei4 Session of 1862-63, and again in the Session of 1869-70 ; also a course of Practical Chemistry during the Summer of 1870. The attention and diligence given by Mr. Ogston to this subject at all times merited my esteem, and I was fully satisfied with his progress. Since concluding his Medical studies at this University, Mr. Ogston has availed himself of the opportunities offered by some of the foreign Universities for more extensive research upon Chemical and Physiological questions, which will no doubt prove to him of the greatest service during his future medical career. I have very great pleasure in wishing him every success. (Signed) JAMES S. BRAZIER. University of Aberdeen, 4th February 1874. III. Prom. James Niool, Esq., Professor of Natural History in the University of Aberdeen. Francis Ogston, Jun., M.Bi and C.M., attended the Class of Natural Hist' ry as a private student during the Session of 1862-63, and subsequently as a Student of Medicine in 1871-72. On both occasions he was a very regular and attentive student, and always conducted himself in a commendable and gentlemanly manner. He also took a very good place in the examinations of the Class (eighth in the Order of Merit in 1862-63), leading me to form a high opinion of his acquirements, and the best hopes of his success in his profession. University of Aberdeen, 4tp February*, 1874. (Signed) JAMES NICOL, Professor of Natural History.
