Section, which should provide for the study of subjects connected 
with the use of the Microscope, and for the more frequent

study ; that these objects could be obtained by monthly meetings, 
where papers on strictly microscopical subjects could be read: 
such readings to be restricted to 20 minutes, so that time 
might be afforded for the examination of objects and the 
comparison of observations; by the formation of a Cabinet to which
