MICROSCOPICAL MEETING.—GENERAL EVENING 
In answer to an enquiry from the Chairman, Mr Wonfor stated 
that the Committee had decided that, at the first Soiree of the British 
Association, the display of objects under the microscope should be illus- 
trative of Marine Life, while, at the second, the objects would be of 
general interest, either from their novelty or scientific value. Promises 
of assistance had been received from the Lewes and Eastbourne 
Natural History Societies and from members of the Royal Microsco- 
pical Society of London and the Quekett Club. 
That afternoon he had had an interview, at Lewes, with the 
Secretary and some of the members of the Lewes Society, in reference 
both to the microscopic displays and also in regard to the exhibition of 
the flora of Sussex. Partly at their suggestion, it was intended to 
issue a circular, to theirown members and botanists generally in the 
County, describing the character of the flora to be displayed and ask- 
ing for co-operation. After a conversation upon both topics, the 
meeting became a conversazione, when many interesting objects were 
exhibited by Dr. Badcock and Messrs. Sewell, F. E. Sawyer, R. 
Glaisyer, and Wonfor.
