October 5, 1864. 

 Mr. C. J. SjDragiie in the chair. 



Thirty-one members present. 



Dr. J. C. White exhibited under the microscope specimens 

 of Trichina spiralis, and gave an account of recent discov- 

 eries which had been made in regard to it. 



Mr. C. J. Sprague exhibited ripe apples from the tree grow- 

 ing in Lowell, which bore the peculiar blossoms shown by him 

 to the Society at the meeting of June 1st. The same irregular 

 arrangement of the pips was seen in the ripe fruit, they being 

 racemose along the central axis. Some of them were devel- 

 oped at the end of the fruit, opening directly at the surface. 

 The rudimentary green scales, to which the corolla was re- 

 duced in the flower, had taken on a succulent growth and 

 become pulpy, like the rest of the fruit ; while the sepals had 

 withered and shrunk to their usual condition at maturity. 



He also announced that Callwia vulgaris (the Heath,) had
