The thanks of the Club were unanimously voted to the

Mr. Karop read a characteristic extract from the Echo on 

 the natural history of Bats, in which, amongst other items, 

 the vampire was referred to as a reptile having a stretch of 

 wing of 5ft., and presumably penetrating the veins of its 

 victim by the tip of its tongue. 



Mr. Karop called attention to a Microtome by Reichert, 

 which was exhibited in the room. So far as he had been able 

 to examine it, he thought it seemed almost the same as Jung's, 

 except that it was plated and got up in a somewhat better 

 style. It was, no doubt, well adapted for cutting sections of 

 frozen substances, but, as far as his experience went, it would 

 not work well upon those which were imbedded in paraffin, for 

 which a direct, rather Hum a sloping cut, was necessary.
