 F.E.C.S. 



The following additions to the Library were announced : —

Society"... 

 " The American Monthly Microscopical Journal'' 

 " The Botanical Gazette "... 

 " Proceedings of the New York Microscopical' 



Society"... 

 " Hooke's Micrographia Eestaurata " ... 

 The President said that the last-named donation was an old work, the 

 text of which was now for the most part obsolete, but it had still a certain 

 amount of interest from the references made to it by other writers. The 

 plates were also of some value, and were certainly very creditable to the 

 time at which they were produced. It was a very desirable book for the 

 Society to possess, and he had much pleasure in moving a vote of thanks 

 to Mr. Leaf for his donation. 



This proposal having been seconded by the Secretary was put to the 

 meeting and carried unanimously.

In exchange.
