selected in order to meet Dr. Eyre's criticism that the so-called 



flagellum was a smear from a slipped cover-glass. Mr. Nelson 



adds that this flagellum, appendage, or whatever one chooses to 



call it, was discovered by him in the spring of 1905 when 



examining a clinical mount for a medical practitioner. The 



stain in that preparation has now faded away : but in other 



preparations the appendage has been seen by many microscopists, 



both trained and untrained, to whom others, as well as he, had 



:shown it. Slide 3 is of a fascinating bit of broken secondary 



structure, photographed for members' inspection, and also to 



test the photographic qualities of a Leitz apochromat, yV in.,

Mr. A. Earland, F.K.M.S., showed a number of lantern slides of 

 Foraminifera which had been prepared to illustrate the principal 

 types of rhizopod shell structure. Especial attention was directed 

 to some abnormal specimens and transition types. Among the 

 more noteworthy species shown were Technitdla Thoiivpsoni 

 '(Heron - Allen and Earland), Wehbina hemispluierica (Jones, 

 Parker and Brady), and Polymorpkina concava (Williamson). 

 'Some remarkable photographs illustrating fistulose Polymor- 

 phinae, both free and attached, were exhibited, and also a 

 ?fine series showing triple isomorphism in the three genera, 

 Cornuspira, Ammodiscus and Spirillina. The curious fossil genus 

 Cycloloculina (Heron-Allen and Earland), found by the authors 

 in the shore sands of Selsey Bill, Sussex, and as yet unknown 

 from any other locality, was shown in its various stages of growth, 

 and its affinities explained. 



On the motion of the President a cordial vote of thanks was 

 passed to Mr. Earland for the extremely interesting and beautiful 

 photographs which had been shown.
