Particular reference should be made to the continuation of the 

 valuable papers by Messrs. Grove and Sturt, " On the Diatoms of 

 the Oanmru Deposit," which have appeared in the Journal. This 

 is one of the most important contributions to the literature of the 

 subject which has been published for some years, and the Club is 

 indebted to the liberality of the authors for a part, at least, of the 

 profuse and excellent illustrations which accompany it. 



Several new forms of microscopes photo-micrographic, and other 

 apparatus were exhibited and described at the meetings, full 

 accounts of which, with other matters of interest, are printed in 

 the Journal.
