The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Mr. 

 Karop for his paper. 



Mr. Nelson remarked upon the curious fact that whilst the 

 older observers saw such very delicate objects as the cilia on 

 volvox they seemed to have missed larger things, such as the 

 cilia of floscularia. He found on some old illustrations dated 

 1797 cilia figured on volvox. 



Mr. Karop thought that from the currents caused they might 

 have inferred the existence of cilia, but in the case of opaque 

 objects their means of illumination were very primitive.

 proceedings terminated.
