 1727 : by F. W. Leggett. 



Mr. Leggett remarked upon the article " Microscope" in the 

 old edition of Chambers Encyclopedia, referring to the man- 

 ufacture of lenses by forming spherules of glass filaments, 

 heated in an alcohol flame. 



Mr. A. Woodward said of exhibit No. 5, that the material 

 was a carboniferous limestone from Ellettsville or Spurgeon 

 Hill, Indiana, and that only one species of Foraminifcra is 

 found in that material — Efidothyra Baileyi, Hall sp., mingled 

 with crinoid stems and fragments of Bryozoa.
