A Microscope, by Negretti and Zambra, and accessories, and a

 F.R.S. a former President of the Society < 



Mr. P. W. Watson Baker exhibited and described Messrs. Watson 

 and Sons' new attachable mechanical stage, which was a simplified form 

 capable of being fixed to almost any ordinary stage by means of a thumb- 

 screw. The plates were made to run between guides instead of in dove- 

 tailed grooves, and the motion was given by a brass roller covered with 

 india-rubber, mounted at the end of the stem carrying the controlling 

 milled head. It would be fcund quite large enough for all ordinary 

 purposes, having a movement of about 1^ in. 



The thanks of the Society were unanimously voted to Messrs. Watson 

 for their exhibit.
