392 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Hopkinson was well known to those present, and would be long 

 remembered for his geniality and his great interest in the v,ork of the 

 Society. 



The President explained that when arrangements were being made 

 for that evening's Meeting the country was in the midst of a strike on 

 the railways that was disorganizing all traffic. The Council therefore 

 had to decide whether to abandon the Meeting or to hold it as a formal 

 Meeting. It was decided to hold the Meeting, and to devote it mainly 

 to an • ' 



Exhibition of Microscopical Specimens and Apparatus. 



Some most interesting exhibits were being shown, and the Society was- 

 greatly indebted to those gentlemen who had brought them. Personally, 

 he regarded them as of considerable importance, and it was a matter of 

 considerable regret that Fellows did not take more opportunities of show- 

 ing them what occurred in the course of their work touching on the 

 subjects in which they had a definite interest. 



The President announced that the Biological Section would meet 

 on November 5, when Mr. R. Paulson would read a communication on 

 " The Nucleus and Pyrenoid in certain Spherical Algse."
