place which should be seen by every medical man visiting London is the Royal College of Surgeons with its magnificent museum and library. The museum contains the collections of John Hunter, which formed its nucleus and is rich in all sorts of specimens illustrating medicine and surgery, pathology, anthropology and comparative anatomy.

Research work is carried out more or less at all the medical schools and in addition there are two other buildings endowed for research, namely the laboratories of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons and the Jenner Institute of Preventive Medicine. The Parkes Museum is another museum devoted to hyygiene and sanitary science. For those who might be interested in veterinary medicine there are the Royal Veterinary College at Camden Town and the Brown Institution.

For post-graduate instruction, as I have already mentioned, strangers are welcome at all clinics for two or three visits, but if they desired to attend regularly they would be expected to take out a course for three or six months at a small fee. Recently the hospitals have combined together and cards of admission for the medical and surgical practice at all the hospitals are now obtainable. A "Postgraduate College," the London Polyclinic, has recently been started and excellent courses of instruction and clinical lectures are given. Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson was one of its promoters and has lodged in its premises his wonderful clinical museum which should be seen by everyone who has the time.

With the exception of August and September the medical and surgical clinics are practically continuous throughout the year, with short breaks at Christmas and Easter, but in these months the care of the wards, etc., is left in the hands of the juniors and there is no clinical teaching.

For anyone who has only a few days to stay in London, I should recommend him first of all to purchase the current number of the Lancet or British Medical Journal; in these he will find a diary of the week. with times and days of operations, lectures, classes, etc., at the various hospitals. He should certainly see the Royal College of Surgeons Museum, two or three of the large general hospitals, Queen's Square for nervous diseases, Golden Square for throat, nose and ear and the Royal Eye or Moor fields for ophthalmic cases. If if mental diseases be his specialty he must certainly visit Claybury; if infective disease, the Brook; if chest complaints, Brompton; at the

North London Chest Hospital he will find the open-air treatment is fully developed. If he has the opportunity he should attend some of the clinics at the Polyclinic where are gathered together for the demonstrations many weird cases which are expounded by some of our best clinical teachers.
