CURRENT NOTES AND MEMORANDA. 65 



Science Record, Vol. II., No. i. (S. E. Cassino and Co.^ 

 Boston, U.S.A.) 



This magazine came to hand at the moment of going to press. 

 We have only space to say that the majority of the papers relate 

 to Microscopy; whilst those devoted to Physical and Natural 

 Science are short and somewhat unconnected. The number con- 

 tains 24 pages, to which are added 12 pages of advertisements. 



The Naturalist's World and Scientific Record, Vol. I., 

 No. I. {Londo?i : IV. Swa?in, Son?ie?ischem, and Co.) — A well got 

 up little Magazine. Its subjects are simple, varied, and pleasantly 

 written.

Our readers will be pleased to learn that Handsomely-bound 

 copies of the two first volumes of the "Journal of the Postal 

 Microscopical Society " have been sent to H.R.H. Prince Leo- 

 pold, Duke of Albany, for which His Royal Highness has ex- 

 pressed his thanks, and states that he evinces great interest in the 

 work of the " Postal Microscopical Society." 



A rich treat for the members of the Postal Microscopical 

 Society has just been afforded through the kindness of Miss E. E. 

 Jarrett, in the shape of a unique and almost exhaustive series of 

 slides, showing the Fructification of the greater portion of our 

 known Ferns, 



The whole are systematically arranged in a handsome maho- 

 gany Cabinet, accompanied by a note-book, made to fit, of which 

 some 90 or 100 pages of MS. descriptive notes are already added. 

 As the cost of the carriage of this box may, by some members, be 

 considered excessive, it will be sent only to those who desire to 

 see it. The charge for postage from one member to another will 

 be 9d., as it weighs under 5 lbs. Each member may keep it 7 

 days only, and if a special circuit can be formed for it, they will 

 simply be required to pay postage to next name on the list. Other- 

 wise they must, of course, pay postage both ways. Space is left 

 in MS. book for further notes and observations.
