able men that ever belonged to the Society. He had felt the loss 

 of his old friend very much, although it was some years since he 

 had been actively associated with him. 



Mr. Terry exhibited to the meeting a large number of photo- 

 micrographs, which had been brought by his brother, who would 

 be very pleased to give any information concerning them. 



Tne President said they were greatly obliged to Mr. Terry for 

 bringing these beautiful photographs. From the very slight 

 glance he had been able to give them, he was sure they would be 

 well worth careful study. 



Mr. R. T. Lewis read a note " On a New Species of Aleurodes," 

 which was illustrated by drawings, and by the exhibition of 

 specimens under the microscope. 



Mr. Hardy inquired if the wax with which the pupge were 

 covered was exuded in a liquid condition. 



Mr. Lewis said it could hardly be liquid seeing the shapes 

 assumed by some of the plumes, and the vertical position of others, 

 but there could be little doubt that it was excreted in a more 

 plastic condition than that in which it was found after exposure to 

 the air. 



The thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Lewis for his 

 communication. 



Mr. Shadbolt read a paper " On some Bacteria found in the 

 Thames," illustrating the subject by diagrams and cultivations of 

 the species described. 



Mr. Karop said the Club was greatly indebted to Mr. Shadbolt 

 for the trouble he had taken in connection with this matter. The 

 water was some of what was termed " foul water " sent up by 

 Mr. Shrubsole from Sheerness some time ago, and the small 

 round bodies which chiefly contributed to that condition had been 

 described in a paper by Mr. Buffham. Unfortunately Mr. Shrub- 

 sole had left Sheerness, so that they would not be able to get any 

 more observations from him this year, which he regretted, as the 

 time was now approaching when this condition of the water would 

 again be noticed. 



The thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Shadbolt for his 

 paper. 



Mr. Karop read a note from Mr. A. Merlin entitled " Some 

 Recent Observations on the Pulvillus of the House-fly," a photo- 

 graph being sent to show the specialities of structure referred to.
