Mr. K. McKean. Mr. J. 8. Johnson presented to the library 
lithographed drawings of Trilobites, for which the thanks of 
the Club were accorded. 
June 19th, 1872.—The members of the Club joined those of the 
Quekett Microscopical Club in a very pleasant excursion to 
Leatherhead. 
June 29th, 1872.—An excursion to Addington Park, by kind 
permission of His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. 
July 18th, 1872.—Excursion to Caterham Valley and Godstone, 
On 
to meet the Quekett Microscopic Club. 
Saturday, August 24th, 1872, about 25 members visited 
Gatton Park, the seat of Lord Monson, by kind invitation 
of H. M’Almont, Esq., the proprietor.. A number of gen- 
tlemen, who went by an earlier train, were invited by this 
gentleman to partake of lunch; after which they had the 
pleasure of examining the beautiful chapel attached to 
the mansion, and the large collection of valuable works 
of art. When the second contingent arrived, the party 
adjourned to the lake, and spent the afternoon in searching 
among the weed and mud for objects of microscopic interest, 
returning from Redhill about six o’clock. 
September 18th, 1872.—On the ‘ Micro-LErrorTera,” by Mr. 
A. D. Taytor.—This valuable paper was one which con- 
tained much information on these microscopic insects. Mr. 
Taylor went through many species, detailing their various 
characteristics, as also the localities where they may be 
found. Some discussion took place afterwards upon the 
relative value of laurel leaves, chloroform, and cyanide of 
potassium, for the purpose of killing insects intended for 
preservation, all three substances being used by various 
members of the Club. 
At the close of the paper, Dr. CarPEnTER, by permission 
of the Presrpent, stated that it was intended to form a 
Museum in connexion with the Literary and Scientific Institu- 
tion in the town. On the completion of the School of Art, 
the room now occupied by its classes will be adapted for a 
local Museum. The valuable collection of the Surrey 
Archeological Society has already been placed in a room in 
the building, and thus forms a nucleus for further additions. 
This is a work in which the members of the Microscopie Club 
may do much to help, and it is hoped “that the members will 
be willing to do what they can in the matter.
