INTEODUCTION TO VOL. I. 



> • ♦ * c 



Soon after the formation of the Quekett Microscopical Club, it 

 was thought desirable that a permanent record of its proceedings 

 should be formed, and that this should be done in such a manner as 

 to maintain the control of the publication entirely in the hands of 

 the committee and to confine it to the purpose for which it was 

 intended. 



The following pages therefore contain all the papers read before 

 the Club during the last two years (with the exception of one or 

 two published elsewhere), together with reports of discussions 

 arising thereon. They also contain notices of apparatus and 

 objects exhibited and other matters of Microscopic interest which 

 may have been brought before the members. 



September, 1869.
