MICROSCOPIC APPLIANCES. 



To the Editor of " The Journal of the Postal Microscopical Society:' 

 Sir,— 



As a Microscope suitable for class demonstration, I would 

 recommend an instrument represented by annexed wood-cuts, 

 and made by J. Parkes and Son, Birmingham, at a very moderate 

 cost. As shown in Fig. 8, it may be used as an ordinary table 



Fig. 9. 



Microscope ; or, with condenser substituted in place of mirror, as 

 in Fig. 9, the Microscope may be held up to the light, and passed 

 round from hand to hand. The object is firmly fixed on the stage 

 by means of two flexible clips. The body has rack adjustment, 

 and is furnished with standard Microscopic screw. 



Yours truly, 



Thomas Bolton, 

 Microscopists' and Naturalist's Studio, 

 57, Newhall Street, Birmingham.
