a remarkable specimen of Diplograpsus angustif alius, Hall, in 

 which the prolonged axis is enveloped in a non-celliferous portion 

 of the periderm ; also a series of fossil woods illustrative of Mr. 

 Carruther's paper in the ' Intellectual Observer,' May and June, 

 1867. 



Under the Society's microscopes were shown an interesting series 

 of objects from the AYallich and Beck collections, and objects pre- 

 sented by T. Eoss, Dr. Carpenter, and T. White. A series of 

 bronzes reduced to scale from the antique, by Mr. Flaxman 

 Spurrell, were much admired, as also were a series of drawings of 

 the British mosses by Dr. Braithwaite, and another series of 

 tongues of mollusca illustrative of Mr. Hogg's paper, a fine set 

 of coloured figures of fungi by G . W. Smith, and micro-photo- 

 graphs by Dr. Millar. 



It would occupy too much space to particularise all the objects 

 of novelty, but we must mention Mr. Koss's new four-inch objec- 

 tive, and his tank microscope; Ackland's alcohol thermometers, 

 graduated on an entirely new plan to ensure accuracy ; a new form 

 of Eeade's double hemispherical condenser; Fiddian's lamp 

 chimney, by Mr. CoHins ; a new meteor-spectroscope, with an 

 enormous field, by Mr. Browning ; an improvement on Nachet's 

 stereo-pseudoscopic microscope, by Messrs. Murray and Heath ; a 

 pocket microscope by ditto; a travelling microscope by Mr. 

 Moginnie, &c.
