England; tvho is attending the British Medical Association Conference at Auckland, In the course of an interview on board the Aorangi, Mr Fagge paid New Zealand the compliment sof saying that he disagreed with the authorities of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons regarding its title, which, he feltj should be "the Royal College of Surgeons of Australia and New.Zealand." He had been told that such a title would be unwieldly, and that the English college might raise difficulties over the Use of the letters "F.R.C.S." after the rtames of fellows of the other body. He believed that the apprehension was' groundless.
