A FILTER WASH-BOTTLE. 



Mr, C. E. Hanaman, of Troy, presented to the Society a 

 filter wash-bottle of his own invention and of easy construction. 

 " It is especially adapted," said the donor, "for the use of his- 

 tologists. The bottle is of the common kind, with a mouth an 

 inch or more in diameter The cork is fitted with the tube of a 

 thistle-top funnel, besides the usual delivery and air-supply 

 tubes. The mouth of the funnel is furnished with a cork. To 

 the end of the delivery tube is attached by an air-tight joint a 

 short piece of larger tubing filled with filter-cotion. This is 

 corked at its lower end, and into the cork passes a small tube 

 terminating in a jet. Over this jet, when the apparatus is not in 

 use, may be placed a small phial. This wash-bottle protects 

 alcoholic solutions of staining agents from evaporation." 



THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROSCOPISTS. 



Mr. Hyatt : " I hope that as many members as possible of our 

 Society will make an effort to attend the Annual Meeting of the 

 American Society of Microscopists which is to be held this 

 summer at Cleveland. Among the members of that Society are 

 many of the most distinguished microscopists in the United 

 States. The meetings are always valuable scientifically and 

 pleasant socially."
