1889.] NEW -YORK MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY. 81 



" P. S. — If I do not hear, I shall understand that my letter is 

 superfluous. Smith and Beck were so pleased with the simple 

 microscope they made for me, that they have made another as a 

 model : if you are consulted by any young naturalists, do 

 recommend them to look at this : I really feel quite a personal 

 gratitude to this form of microscope and quite a hatred to my 

 old one.
