 Mr. Ingpen called attention to the possible value of an aqueous solution 

 of iodine for preserving and mounting Volvox and other Algse. The solu- 

 tion was prepared by adding caustic potash to an alcoholic solution of iodine 

 till it became colourless, avoiding any excess of potash. It should be greatly 

 diluted. He showed specimens of Volvox that had been mounted more than 

 a month, and appeared in very good condition. 



The President read a paper " On the histological development of the larva 

 of Corethra plumicornis.
