rnHE SOCIETY was formed in 1873 to aid in the study, 

 I discussion, and circulation of Microscopic objects, and 

 to advance the pursuit of Natural Science among 

 its members. 



It is divided into thirteen Circuits of about twelve 

 members eacfi, arranged geographically. A box of Slides 

 accompanied by MS. boitk for the insertion of Notes and 

 Memoranda, is sent by the Hon. Secretary, at fortnightly 

 intervals, to the first member on one of the Circuits ; who, 

 after keeping it for three d;iys, must send it on by post 

 to the next on the list, and he to the following one. 

 When it has gone round tlie Circuit, the last member re- 

 turns it to the Hon. Secretary, who will then forward it 

 to the first member of the next Circuit, and so on, until 

 the slides have been seen by the whole of the Society. 

 Each member is expected to contribute six Slides annu- 

 ally, which are returned to him after they bave been 

 round the Circuits. Ladies, as well as gentlemen, may be 

 elected members of the Society.
