Mr. Scourfield gave a resume of the third part of his "Synopsis 

 of the British Fresh- water Entomostraca," dealing with the 

 Ostracoda, the Branchiura, and the Phyllopoda. The structure 

 of a typical Ostracod was described and illustrated by means of 

 a diagram. 



Mr. Rheinberg read a paper " On an Overlooked Point con- 

 cerning the Resolving Power of the Microscope," illustrated by 

 diagrams and a Grayson ruling exhibited under special apparatus. 

 The paper was followed by a discussion, in which Messrs. Hilton, 

 Rheinberg, Neville, and Stokes took part. 



Owing to the lateness of the hour it was decided to hold over 

 a note by the Rev. H. A. Soames "On the Sertulariidae of Kent 

 and Sussex " ; but the President drew attention to the exhibition 

 of slides in illustration of this paper under microscopes provided 

 by the kindness of Mr. C. L. Curties. 



At the meeting of the Club held on January 15th, 1904, 

 George Massee, Esq., F.L.S., President, in the Chair, the minutes 

 of the meeting held on December 18th, 1903, were read and con- 

 firmed, and the additions to the Library and Cabinet announced. 



Messrs. John H. Pledge, Walter Hunter, John Hopkinson, 

 L. Bulcher, William Cox, and Dr. Thomas B. Sprague were 

 balloted for and duly elected. 



The Secretary reminded the members that the Annual Meeting 

 would beheld upon February 19th, and invited nominations to fill 

 the vacancies upon the Committee caused by the retirement by 

 rotation of four members and the resignation of Mr. G. T. 

 Harris. The list of gentlemen nominated as officers for the 

 ensuing year was also read. As an auditor on behalf of the 

 members, Mr. Hicks was proposed and duly elected. 



Mr. C. F. Rousselet read a paper " On a New Fresh-water 

 Polyzoon from Rhodesia," illustrated by drawings and specimens. 



The President remarked upon the extreme value of a paper 

 of this kind, especially as the known species of Polyzoa were so 

 few and the literature of such a scattered nature. 



Mr. Holder exhibited a number of excellent lantern-slides of 

 Foraminifera of his own preparation, the more interesting details 

 being pointed out by Mr. Earland.
