The third and fifth volumes (all that are completed) of The Cambridge Natural History, edited by S. F. Harmer, Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and A. E. Shipley, Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge. Vol. 3 treats of "Molluscs," by the Rev. A. H. Cooke, "Brachiopods (Recent)," by A. E. Shipley, and "Brachiopods (Fossil)," by F. R. C. Reed. Vol. 5 contains "Peripatus," by Adam Sedgwick, "Myriapods," by F. G. Sinclair, and "Insects," by David Sharp.
THE INJURY done to the University by the attempted sale in England of degrees, purporting to come from a music school connected with the University, has probably not been very great, as the fraud was discovered before any degrees had been sold and the University easily disproved having of anything to do with the college of Church Musicians. Nevertheless it seems that legal protection should be given the University against any similar occurrence in the future. There are some forty purposes for which, according to Kansas statute, five persons can secure a charter from the state. Among these are the giving of musical instruction. What is needed seems to be some modification of these privileges so as to place restriction on the granting of degrees.
