Mr. Gilburt as being beautiful and valuable additions to the cabinet. With 

 reference to the " elementary gossips " proposed, he wished it to be under- 

 stood that they were at present to be considered as quite an experiment, 

 rendered desirable by the fact that some of the members had expressed to 

 him a wish for microscopical instruction of an elementary character. He 

 had undertaken the first of the series, and hoped that whatever the result 

 might be, the members would give him credit for the motives which 

 actuated him in suggesting such an innovation. 



The proceedings then terminated with a conversazione, at which the 

 following objects were exhibited : —
