Mr. J. J. Vezey said that the Fellows would regret to hear of the 

 death of Mr. Edward Dadswell, who had been connected with the 

 Society since 1887, and was at one time a Member of the Council. 

 Mr. Dadswell was also a member of the Quekett Club, and had always 

 been greatly interested in Microscopical work. At one time he was 

 President of the South London Society, and took the warmest interest 

 in promoting its progress. 



Mr. Dadswell possessed a trait which commended itself especially to 

 the Treasurer, viz. that he proclaimed his belief on all suitable occasions 

 that the Fellows of the Society should always endeavour to remember 

 the Society when making their wills. Mr. Dadswell had carried this 

 sentiment into practice, and had left a legacy of bOl., free of duty, for 

 the benefit of the Society. Mr. Vezey commended this to others to 

 imitate, and he mentioned incidentally that a Member of the Council 

 (Mr. J. M. Allen) had undertaken to draw up, without charge, the will 

 of any Fellow wishing to copy such a good example. 



Mr. Rousselet read a short description of the Adams Improved 

 Lucernal Microscope, some further portions of which had recently been 

 presented to the Society by Mr. F. Orfeur. The instrument, in its 

 completed condition, was placed upon the table, together with the box 

 of apparatus pertaining to it. 



The Secretary called the attention of the Fellows to three micro- 

 photographic portraits which had been found in the Society's collection,
