PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



QUEKETT MICROSCOPICAL CLUB. 



At the meeting of the Club held on March 25th, 1913, the 

 President, Prof. A. Dendy, D.Sc, F.R.S., in the chair, the 

 minutes of the meeting held on February 25th were read and 

 confirmed. 



Messrs. J. T. Cook, David Henry Shuckard and W. E. 

 Ford-Fone were balloted for and duly elected members of the 

 Club. 



The Hon. Secretary announced that Mr. G. T. Harris, of 

 Sidmouth, a former member of the Club, had made a very 

 handsome donation in the form of a type collection of Hydrozoa, 

 numbering 72 preparations. These had been collected on the 

 south-west and west coasts of England, and should prove 

 very useful to any member making a systematic study of the 

 group, especially as the slides are accompanied by a resume as 

 a help in diagnosing the more difficult species. Mr. Harris 

 also sent a paper which will be read at the next meeting, on 

 "The Collection and Preservation of the Hydrozoa." 



A vote of thanks to Mr. Harris for his valuable donation 

 was proposed by the President, and carried by acclamation. 



Mr. A. A. C. Eliot Merlin, F.R M.S., sent for exhibition five 

 photomicrographs, taken at x 320, of diatoms from a slide 

 prepared by the late C. Haughton Gill (see Journal R.M.S., 

 1890, p. 435). They were of Epithemia turgida, Stauroneis 

 phoenice7ite?'07i, Pinnularia major, under surface showing per- 

 forations on ribbing partly filled with the mercurous sulphide, 

 and two others. 



A paper by Messrs. Heron-Allen and Earland, "On some 

 Foraminifera from the Southern Area of the North Sea, dredged 

 by the Fisheries cruiser ' Huxley ,'" was read by Mr. Earland. 

 Mr. Earland said that after the reading of the paper by Mr. 

 Heron-Allen and himself, " On the Occurrence of Saccammina
