Pond-Life Exhibition. — The President then called upon ]\Ir. 

 Scourfield to make some observations on the Annual Exhibition of 

 Microscopic Pond-Life which had been arranged by Fellows of the 

 Society and Members of the Quekett ^licroscopical Club. 



Mr. Scourfield said that it bad been his privilege, in connexion with 

 several previous Pond-Life exhibitions, to call attention to some of the 

 special problems which could be studied only by observation of the 

 living organisms, such problems, for instance, as the movements of pond- 

 life organisms and the correlation of their structure to particular modes 

 of life. He proposed that evening to refer briefly to yet another matter 

 which could only be satisfactorily approached in the same way, namely, 

 the colour of microscopic aquatic organisms. Mr. Scourfield then 

 alluded to some of the commoner colours presented by such organisms.
