Dr. Bell 



The death of Charles Robert Leslie, the artist, elected a 

 member of this Society, April 21, 1836, was announced by 

 Dr. Le Conte. He died at London, May 5, 1859, aged Q5 

 years. 



Mr. Justice described a superior microscope stand made by 

 Mr. Zentmeyer, of Philadelphia, for and under the direction of 

 Dr. Hunt, of Philadelphia, and embracino- all the important 

 late improvements. Dr. Le Conte added his testimony to the 

 admirable skill of the mechanician, and supported it by refer- 

 ing to the stand lately made by him for Dr. Goddard, and to 

 the stand now making for the Academy of Natural Science, 

 which promises to be one of the best extant. 



Pending nomination. No. 391, was read. 



Deferred business being taken up, and the reading of the 

 resolutions appended to the report of the committee on the con- 

 dition of the Society being called for, the chair decided that 

 the present meeting not being competent to act upon the reso- 

 lutions, for want of the number required to be present by the 

 Charter, was, therefore, not competent to discuss them by 

 entertaining motions. 



On motion of Prof. Cresson, certain amendments to the by- 

 laws, offered by Mr. Fraley as a substitute for, was ordered to 

 be printed with the amendments offered by the Officers and 

 Council, and by the committee on the condition of the Society. 



On motion of Mr. Foulke, the consitleration of the amend- 

 ments was postponed until the first stated meeting in October. 



On motion of Prof. Cresson, the last motion was ordered to 

 be attached to the printed amendments. 



Dr. Coates was permitted, nunc pro tunc, to read a retrospec- 

 tive notice of .John Reynell, one of the original membei'sof the 

 Society, with a request that it be not printed, at present, in the 

 proceedings. On motion of Dr. F. Bache, it was, therefore, 

 ordered to be placed among the notices of deceased members; 

 and the Society was adjourned.
