    From J. Graham Kerr, M.A., Professor of Zoology, University of Glasgow. Natural History Department, University of Glasgow, March 14 th, 1903. It is with much pleasure that I express my conviction that Dr. T. H. Bryce is admirably qualified to discharge, in the most creditable way, the duties of Professor of Anatomy in the University of Dublin. It is of the greatest importance that the higher teaching posts in Anatomy should be held by men who are in full sympathy with the broader and more fundamental problems of Anatomy. Dr. Bryce is just such a man. An expert and experienced teacher of Anatomy along the lines required by the student of Medicine, Dr. Bryce has also taken great interest in those wider questions which interest the general Morphologist. He has devoted special attention to the phenomena of Development, and in particular to the processes of matura- tion and fertilization of the ovum. As is well known, researches of this kind are amongst the most difficult known to the Anatomist, and require for their successful accomplishment a very high degree of technical skill. That Dr. Bryce possesses this skill, and in addition the critical faculty necessary to make the best use of the results of his observations, is shown by the admirable contributions on Maturation and Fertilization, which he has recently pub- lished. Though I wish Dr. Bryce success in his application, I feel, and I know that many agree with me in this, that his removal to Dublin would mean a most serious loss to our Biological School here in Glasgow.
