In the literature there exist examples of metrizable spaces admitting nonmetrizable uniformities (e.g., see [3, Problem C, p. 204]). In this paper, this phenomenon is presented more coherently by showing that every non-compact metrizable space admits at least one non-metrizable proximity and uncountably many non-metrizable uniformities. It is also proved that the finest compatible uniformity (proximity) on a non-compact non-semidiscrete space is always non-metrizable.
