The Donation of " Le Parasitisme et la Symbiose " by the Librairie 

 Octave Doin was reported, and the donors thanked. 



Exhibits were shown by ]\h'. Conrad Beck (a Metallurgical Micro- 

 scope), and by Mr. E. J. Sheppard (Preparations showing Chromosomes, 

 etc.). These gentlemen were thanked for their exhibits. 



Mr. Barnard drew attention to the fact that the Society had issued 

 a programme of jMeetings covering the whole Session. The present 

 state of industrial affairs had been responsible for the more or less 

 formal programme that had been submitted. The microscope was 

 taking a much more important place in industrial development than 

 heretofore, and the Royal Microscopical Society would hardly have been 

 fulfilling its purpose had it not done something to forward that develop- 

 ment. The Directors of the Industrial Research Associations were 

 written to and asked if they would be willing to communicate to the 

 Society some of the results of their work and experiences. The replies 

 were encouraging and the provisional programme was drawn up. It 

 was not complete, and further papers would be added. The two opening 

 papers dealing with the " Practical Use of the Microscope in Industrial 

 Research " to be read that evening would be devoted to the considera- 

 tion of the manufacture of glass and to a special branch of IMetallurgy. 

 He felt sure that the series of papers to be submitted would help the 

 Fellows of the Society to realize that the microscope had now become 

 the universal tool of Science and Industry. 



Mr. George Patch in, A.R.S.M. (Sir John Cass Technical Institute), 

 read a paper : — " The Micro-Examination of Metals with Special Refer- 

 ence to Silver, Gold and the l^latinum Metals," illustrated by a number 

 of lantern slides.
