Eecent and Fossil Bivalved Entomostraca." (See ' Trans.,' p. 39.) 

 This was followed by a discussion. 



The President remarked upon the high degree of interest 

 which microscopists felt in the organisms to which Prof. R. Jones 

 had called their attention. 



Mr. Slack observed that, in certain specimens of Artemia salina 

 obtained during the season at Hayliug Island by Mr. Burr, he 

 had noticed the presence of groups of crystals, apparently uric 

 acid, in their intestines, and suggested that it would be advisable 

 to ascertain if similar products were to be found in other Ento- 

 mostraca. 



Mr. Hall said that he had not been able to find any crystals 

 in the specimens of Artemia he had examined. 



Mr. Hogg observed that the presence of urate of soda or urates 

 in some form might be suspected in such animals.
