Mutual Help in Microscopical Work. 



In spite of the papers and discussions at the ordinary meetings 

 of the C]ub and the friendly conversation of the "gossip " nights, 

 it seems that there are still a considerable number of our members 

 who do not know exactly to whom to apply to get information on 

 the different branches of microscopical work. To remedy this as

The following list is, therefore, a preliminary attempt in the 

 direction indicated. It is necessarily a very incomplete state-

 mentioned, which, it will be seen, do not by any means cover the 

 whole field of microscopical work. ^ Its publication should, 

 however, induce many other members to come forward with offers 

 of help, so that when the next list is issued it may more accurately 

 represent the sum total of the club's activity. The Editor will be 

 very pleased to hear from any members willing to put down their 

 names in this way, and to receive any suggestions in connection 

 with this subject. It will be understood that the members
