Annnal Meeting, should exhibit the best six dozen microscopic slides of his: 
own mounting. 
The Committee hope that the generons intention of the President _has. 
accemplished the object he had in view, viz., ‘‘By promoting a healthy 
competition amongst the Members to give an incentive to many to advance 
themselves in this interesting and important branch of microscopy.” 
The state of the Club’s finances is highly satisfactory. There is a 
balance in the hands of the Treasurer of £38 17s. 10d. The Committee- 
therefore feel justified in expending, firstly, £10 in the purchase of books of” 
microscopy and natural history, and, secondly, £5 on a cabinet, to contain a 
collection of microscopical objects. They trust that the additions to the- 
Lilrary will lead to an increased demand by Members for the loan of books, 
and that they and others will, hy presents of slides, assist the Committee in 
forming a collection of mounted objects now that a suitable cabinet has been. 
provided for their reception.
