The President, in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Crouch for his inter- 

 esting pajner, expressed the desire, in the name of the Club, that he would 

 convey to Dr. Hunt their high appreciation of his beautiful specimens ; and 

 also ask him for the favour of any communication which he might be 

 disposed to make as to the details of his process. 



Mr. Crouch thought he might promise on Dr. Hunt's behalf that some 

 such communication should be sent to the Club. 



A vote of thanks to Mr. Crouch was unanimously carried. 

 The President said he would only add further that they should be most 

 happy to return the hospitality which had been described by Mr. Crouch, 

 should any American microscopists visit the Quekett Club. 



Mr. T. Charters White gave a description of a specimen of Sabella, 

 exhibited by him in the room. On being taken hold of in the Aquarium 

 these creatures were found to wriggle out of their tubes and go free. 

 They then appeared to go about tail first, and were apparently furnished 

 with two eye spots near the tail. The body consisted of several rounded 

 segments, and at the head were from three to five compound tentacles, 

 and if by accident one of these got broken off, it swam about by itself as 

 if it were an independent creature. Mr. White illustrated his remarks by 

 drawings upon the black board. 



The proceedings then terminated by a conversazione, at which the 

 following objects were exhibited : —
