Mr. Latham exhibited scales from the wings of the 

 Catarrhactes Papua, a Penguin from the Falkland Islands, 

 which appear to be intermediate between feathers and 

 scales. 



Mr. Edward Lund exhibited two forms of stands for 

 holding a microscope, condenser, lamp, &c. ; one in the form 

 of a tray fixed on four castors, to run upon an ordinary- 

 table, and the other a small round turn-table, thirty inches 

 high and fifteen inches diameter. The lamps were for 

 parafiin oil^ fitting into wooden cups secured to the stands.
