May 17th, 1895. — Ordinary Meeting.

The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and confirmed. 



The following gentlemen were balloted for and duly elected 

 members of the Club : — Mr. F. R. Greg, Mr. Henry Groves, Mr. 

 E. Macer, and Mr. Michael E. Swan.

" Journal of the Royal Society of Cornwall."

 lamp along the table in the ordinary way. 



Dr. Tatham, having had some experience in the use of one of

 purpose. It could be brought down to the level of the table or 

 raided, if required, high enough to use with a full-sized microscope, 

 and the rack and pinion were very well constructed. The metal
