made by Zeiss, which would obviate these difficulties. The apparatus 

 med to be a simple modification of Zeiss's vertical camera, the most 

 importanl poinl apparently being the introduction of a reflection prism, 

 placed over the eye-piece of the Microscope, and connected l>v a cylin- 

 drical collar fixed bo the tube at the cud of the camera. The worker 

 apparently kept the camera on the work bench at the right-hand side of 

 his Microscope, and the illuminating apparatus on his left, the camera 

 nting directly in front. As soon as he had found the object to photo- 

 ph, the camera was swung round on its horizontal bar until the ra- 

 tion prism approximated to the eye-piece of his Microscope. The 

 length of the camera was small, 0*8 of a metre, so it was quite easy to 

 :h the fine-adjustment of the Microscope even when the head of the 

 investigator was round the corner looking at the ground-glass screen. 

 The apparatus seemed useful for rapid work, but he (Dr. Eyre) did not 

 think it likely to replace some of the larger pieces of apparatus, although 

 the author stated he had obtained good results with a T Vin. immersion 

 lens. Tin- final point in favour of the apparatus seemed to be that the 

 price was exceedingly low, as compared with that of ordinary installa- 

 tio] 



A vote of thanks, proposed by the President, for this communication 

 - carried unanimously. 



Dr. Eyre said that the paper by Mr. James Murray on " Canadian 

 Rotifers collected by the Shackleton Antarctic Expedition, 1909," would 



be taken as read, and would appear in the Journal in due course. 



The nexi Meeting was announced for May 17, when there would be

 in their names to the Assistant-Secretary by May 10. A Meeting of 

 the Biological Section was announced for Wednesday, May 8, to take 

 place in the Laboratory of King's College, Strand. 



With regard to the June Meeting, the President announced that as

 be held either on the second or fourth Wednesday in June, instead of 

 the third. The final date would be announced at the next Meeting
