The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to the donors. 



The Secretary having called special attention to the very beautiful series 



of slides of Foraminifera presented by Mr. Tipple, and also to those of 



Diatomacese — prepared from the material of Professor Smith, and therefore 



illustrative of his work on the subject — presented by Mr. Sturt, special 



votes of thanks were passed, on the motion of the President. 



Mr. Buffhamreada paper " On the Conjugation of Rhabdonema arcuatum," 

 the subject being illustrated by numerous coloured diagrams, and also by 

 pasteboard models of the compound frustules. 



Mr. W. H. Gilburt said he had been extremely pleased to be allowed to 

 go through this subject with his friend Mr. Buff ham, and he quite agreed 

 with him as to his earlier remarks, especially as to the distinctive 

 filaments — which he had called the male filaments or frustules 

 — he had seen not only single ones attached, but also a chain of 

 them. He could, however, scarcely agree that the fertilizing matter was 



Purchased.
