 to obviate this altogether ; and, even should there be a slight defect in 

 the concentricity of the rotatoiy movement of the stage, the compound 

 body revolving along with it, would, as it were, follow the error (even 

 supposing it to exist), thus fulfilling the end in view more successfully, 

 and without the inconvenience of any contrivance for centering. 



A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Yeates for his kindness in 

 bringing forward his microscope before the Society. 



A ballot then took place, when the following gentlemen were declared 

 duly elected as Ordinary Members : — Professor Cameron, M. D., and 

 "William "White, Esq., Rathmines ; and as Corresponding Member, the 

 Rev. Robert Vickers Dixon, A. M., Ex-F.T.C.D., Cloghemey Rectory, 

 Dungannon. 



The President, in offering a few brief words before adjourning, took 

 occasion to thank the Society at large for the support tendered, and the 

 courtesy extended towards him since he occupied the chair, as well as 

 for the readiness evinced, when necessary, to uphold the dignity of the 

 Society, while he congratulated them upon so successful a session as re- 

 gards the importance and interest of the papers read before them at the 

 General Meetings. He then adjourned the Society to the first Friday 

 in November.
