    PREFACE. Of Graduates and of Officers, only meagre and broken records are preserved in the archives of the Scottish Universities. Such works as Anthony a Wood's Athenae and Fasti Oxonienses, Boase's Register of the University of Oxford, Foster's Alumni Oxonienses, Cooper's Athenae Cantabrigienses, Luard's Graduati Cantabrigienses, etc., the Scottish academic annahst need not attempt to rival, either in completeness or in detail.

This list is continued to 1845 in Nomina eorwn ijtii Gradum Medicinae Doctoris in Acad. Jac. VI. Scot.
