The thanks of the Club were voted to the donors. 



The Secretary read a letter which had been addressed to him by the Secretary 

 of the Tower Hill Microscopical Society, conveying the thanks of that Society 

 to those members of the Club who had rendered their services at the Society's 

 recent Soiree. 



A letter was also read from Mr. Robson intimating that the usual rooms in 

 University College would be placed at the disposal of the Club for the purpose 

 of their Soiree on Friday, April 16th, by permission of the Council of the 

 College. 



A letter from Colonel Horsley to Mr. Curties with reference to a possibly new 

 Vaginicola was also read to the meeting. 



The Secretary stated that the letter was accompanied by a very nice drawing 

 by Mr. Fullagar, and though it bore some resemblance to one drawn by 

 Pritchard (Vaginicola decumbens) there appeared to be some differentiation 

 from it, and the opinions of those members of the Club who were acquainted 

 with these organisms were requested upon the subject. The drawing was 

 pinned upon the black board for their inspection at the close of the proceedings. 

 The Secretary said that as he had mentioned Mr. Fullagar by name he would 

 take the opportunity of calling attention to an article by that gentleman which 

 appeared in "Science Gossip" for that month — "On the Development of 

 Lophopus crystallinus from the Statoblasts" — because he thought that this was 

 one of the best kinds of work that a microscopist could take up, and that 

 every opportunity ought to be taken to bring such work under the notice of the 

 members in order, if possible, to induce them to go and do likewise.
