Mr. Goodwin inquired what was the highest power with which these 

 observations had been made? 



Mr T. F. Smith said it was ^in. of 0'96 numerical aperture. 

 Mr. Goodwin thought it would be a good thing if the Club could provide 

 objectives of that kind for the use of Members who had occasion to use 

 them for special purposes. 



The thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Smith for his very interesting 

 paper. 



Mr. J. D. Hardy exhibited one of Marion's "Academy" Cameras, and 

 described the mode in which he had adapted it to the microscope for the 

 purpose of taking photo-micrographs, specimens of which were handed 

 round for inspection. 



Mr. Nelson said that at their last meeting Mr. Hailes handed him a slide 

 of Amphipleura mounted in one of the dense media by Prof. Hamilton 

 Smith. He found, however, that the medium was not so dense as that 

 previously shown by Prof. Smith, and that it did not in consequence give so 

 brilliant an image. 



Announcements of meetings, &c, for the ensuing month were then made,

 following objects were exhibited : —
