By the kind permission of the College, a Special Meeting for the exhibi- 

 tion of interesting Microscopical Objects was held in the Library, and 

 proved quite as successful as that held on the 29th April, 1881. The number 

 of visitors was not so great, as it had been found necessary to issue fewer 

 invitations in order to avoid overcrowding. They, however, amounted to 

 about 180, while the members numbered over 200. The exhibits were 

 numerous and interesting, nearly 80 microscopes being brought. 



The following is a list of such of the objects as were described on the 

 exhibitors' cards : —
