The PRESIDENT (Mr. Haselwood) was sure that he would only be 
expressing the feelings of the Society when he said that they should 
be delighted to have Mr. Lee’s presence from time to time, and receive 
valuable suggestions from his practical knowledge; that they hoped he 
would often find time to pay them a visit; and that they heartily 
thanked him for the specimens he offered them. 
Mr, HENRY LEE remarked that there was one thing which he had 
forgotten to mention, namely, that in showing the objects he submitted, 
much depended on illumination—the manner in which the light fell 
upon them—and he would suggest, to younger members especially, 
that if they were in the habit of working with their lamp on any 
particular side, they. should always put the label on that side where 
there was the best illumination, and towards the lamp. They would then 
always be able to place the object in the best position. 
Mr. T. W. Wonror observed that Mr, Lee had come to exactly 
~ the same conclusion in mounting the skins of dog-fish as that at which 
he had arrived in mounting the wings of butterflies and moths. 
Mr. G. D. SAWYER was glad that Mr. Lee had thought fit to 
speak of several elementary facts, for they were of great service to 
those who were working up from the bottom of the ladder ; and he 
hoped the more experienced microscopists would always, when they 
were lecturing, assume the presence of those who had to learn the first 
practical truths. 
After votes of thanks to Messrs. Wonfor and Lee, the meeting 
became a conversazione, when both gentlemen exhibited very interest- 
ing objects, illustrative of their respective remarks. 
It having been intimated that Dr. Hallifax had presented eleven 
micro-photographs to the Society, a vote of thanks was awarded 
to him for his gift.
