That these vowels are supposed to signify "Aus-

 communicated in "N. & Q." Reusner has given 

 them another interpretation : " Aquila electa iuste 

 vincit omnia."

 promptu habes, illaj regunt, hsec tuentur imperium. A 

 Justiniano habet," &c. — Sadelor, p. 43. 



* " Symbolum [aquila solem contra tuens] quo jam 

 se non tantum adversario opponit sed cum Deo parum

PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. 



Simplicity of Calotype Process. — The session 

 of the Photographic Society was commenced with 

 a paper from our original correspondent, Ds. 

 Diamond, under the above title. Our journal 

 having led to such facilities of question and 

 answer, has Induced many of our readers to ask 

 upon several points additional instructions, some 

 of which we have ourselves thought might have 

 been made more clear ; and having written to 

 Dr. Diamond he has promised us a revised 

 copy for our next Number. Replying to some of 

 our Querists, he says, " The plain photographic 

 facts are correct ; but I wrote the paper on the 

 morning of the day on which the Society met, and 

 was not aware It was to be printed In the Journal 

 until I received my copy." 



Albumenized Paper. — As my only object in 

 writing' on this subject was to communicate to 

 others the plan which / had found in practice 

 most successful, I think it necessary to correct 

 some points of misapprehension which It Is evident 

 your correspondent K. N. M. has fallen into.

 Inconvenience of the silver solution becoming 

 spoiled by particles of the albumen. The 100 

 grains to the ounce for the solution I do not find 

 more extravagant when applied, as I have Indi- 

 cated, with a glass rod, than one of 30 grains to 

 the ounce when the paper is floated, because in 

 the former case I use only just enough to cover 

 the paper, viz. forty-five minims to a half-sheet of
