The majority of our subscribers dishke to have their "

 of their paid subscription. We therefore assume that no '^ 



interruption in the series is desired, unless notice to ^C) inclusivC. This aCtion of the COm-

_ mittee seems very wise, as it will 



permit those members of the society who are also interested in the various 

 programmes presented by the American Association for the Advancement of 

 Science whose meetings follow these dates immediately, to attend such as 

 they may desire by remaining a little longer, and will also allow A. A. A. S. 

 members to be present at the Microscopical Society's sessions by coming a little 

 earlier. The affairs of the society are in excellent hands, Professor S. H. Gage 

 and Dr. V. A. Moore, of Cornell University, with Dr. A. C. Mercer, of Syracuse 

 University, constituting the executive committee ; with Dr. William C. Krauss, 

 Niagara University, president ; Professor Henry B. Ward, University of 

 Nebraska, secretary ; Dr. A. M. Bleile, Ohio State University, and Dr. G. Carl 

 Huber, University of Michigan, vice-presidents ; Mr. Magnus Pfiaum, treasurer. 

 We should like to see the work of a great many laboratories represented at the 

 coming meeting by groups of papers from the director of each laboratory, his 

 assistants, and advanced students. The value of the information brought 

 together, and of the discussions, demonstrations, and working sessions which 

 could be arranged were each active laboratory thus represented, could hardly 

 be estimated. The excellent showing made by Cornell at the Syracuse meeting 

 is a good example of the possibilities in this line of work. Give this matter 

 a little thought thus early and correspond with the secretary about it. On 

 another page a blank form for application for membership in the American 

 Microscopical Society will be found. If you are interested in maintaining the 

 efficiency of the microscope and in improving microscopical methods, till it out 



and forward to the treasurer.

 Lea Mc I. Luquer of the department of Mineralogy, Columbia University, N. Y., 

 will conduct a department of mineralogical literature in the Journal, in which 

 reviews of the more important papers relating to mineralog}' will appear. For- 

 eign as well as American periodicals and books will be reviewed. This 

 department will be especially welcome to those who do not have access to the 

 numerous foreign publications.
