Totals 31 25 8 39 40-I-6 33 20 :X1 20 31 25 19 20 OBSERVATIONS.

This table includes all the Universities, Properly so sailed, in the United Kingdom.

Oxford University consists of nineteen Colleges and five Halls. Cambridge University consists of fourteen Colleges and three Halls, Durham University consists of one College and two Halls. Dublin University consists of only one College—Trinity: but it was originally intended to include more, and it is most desirable that it should. .

In these Universities, most part of the teaebin_g of Undergraduates is, or was until very recently, in the hands of the Fellows and Tutors; the Professors being prineiplly attended by Graduates. In the other Universities there are no Fellows or Tutors; and the Pro- fessors or their assistants necessarily do all the teacbing. In some Universities the Professors of Moral Philosophy teach more Metaphysics than they do Ethics.

Some Professors are called Lecturers by the will of the Founder, who in all other respects are bona fide Professors.

Where an asterisk is affixed to the numbers, it implies that others than Professors—i. e. Readers or Lecturers—are included. In some Universities, the Professors of Divinity lecture regularly on Church History, without being confined to that function. There are at present two distinct and independent Universities at Aber- deen ; but a bill is in preparation to amalgamate them.

Oxford University, London University, and the Queen's University, elect from tune to time a special corps of Examiners, comprised of indiel- duals not necessarily otherwise occupied in the University. King's College, London, has six Professorships--i. e. of the Fine Arts, Manufacturing Art, Public Reading, Fencing, Military Science, and the Workshop—which, having no parallel in any other College, are not in- . eluded in this table.

A recently-founded Professorship of " Technology" in the University. of Edinburgh is omitted for the same reason. The Professorship of ' ".Publie Law" in the same place seems to be in abeyance. The numbers and designations of the Professors in University College and King's College, London vary somewhat from year to year. 'We give the best approximation that we can to their normal strength.

The totals at the foot of each column represent the number not of dis- tinct Professorahips,. but of the individuals actually exercising professorial functions, as stated in the most recent lists to which we have baa access. Of mere assistants we have taken no account.

At Cambridge, the present Commission is understood to have in con-

templation numerous alterations in the .professorial organization. Car- tam n changes of a similar kind are, we believe, also looked for at Oxford.

Three or four of the Professorships included in the Faculty of Medicine --e.g. Botany, Chemistry, Natural Histogy, and Comparative Anatomy— are more commonly classed under the head of Arts, or General Education. They have been in this table inserted in the Faculty of Medicine to admit of a closer comparison with the Universities .where they are ao classified.

Where the figures 1,1, or 3z occur it implies that one Professor has two or MOTO sufficiently -fttinet faculties or subjects, each of which is noted in its proper place.
