    ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA. p. 7, par. 2. The first rooms occupied by the University were in Somerset House. P. i6, par. I. Notwithstanding that the adoption of the new charter (1858) abolished the principle of affiliated Colleges, there continued to appear in the Calendar of the University, after the list of Institutions from which the University receives certi- ficates for degrees in Medicine, a list of Institutions in connection with the University as to degrees in Arts and Laws. At a meeting of the Senate on 30th January, 1884, on the motion of Mr. Fitch, it was resolved to omit this second list from future editions of the Calendar. P. 17. In respect to the present (i.e., since 1900) position of the officials of the University it is not the same as was formerly the case. They are no longer members of the Civil Service, and can no longer look forward to a pension. Such pensions, how- ever, as had accrued to them, under the previous arrangement up to the reconstruc- tion of the University, is payable to them, provided they do not leave the service of the University before the age at which retirement is permitted by the rules of the Civil Service. P. 39. Three lines from bottom of page, for College read Colleges. The precise words of Mr. Hickman's resolution were : That the Council of the College \i.e. the Royal College of Surgeons] do obtain a charter to enable the Council to combine with the Royal College of Physicians of London, with the view to amalgamation of the two Colleges into one great College of Medicine, to be endowed with authority to examine and grant licences to practise in all branches of Medicine and Surgery, and to confer on its licentiates the degrees and titles of Doctor of Medicine and Master of Surgery . The Council of the College of Surgeons took no steps to give effect to this resolution. P. 44, line 15. After the word report insert which had been adopted by the Council of the Branch on 5th February . P. 71, par. 2. Referring to the communications proposed to be entered on between the Association for Promoting a Teaching University for London and the Senate of the University the present writer published a letter in the Lancet for 28th March, 1885, pointing out how difficult he conceived it would be for the University profitably to entertain the proposals of the Association, or those of the Metropolitan Branch of the British Medical Association, and suggesting, he believes for the first time, the reference of the whole question to a Royal Commission.
