CATALOGUE OF THE MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY. 135 
and examination. We need not point out how valuable such 
a collection as this must be to any engaged in microscopic 
research. The number of slides containing objects for ob- 
servation with the microscope numbers 12,149. They are 
most excellently arranged, catalogued, and ticketed, and are 
kept in a large cabinet with seven or eight tiers of drawers, 
each about an inch deep, and two feet by one in area. ‘The 
drawers are ticketed on the outside, so as to render their 
contents more easily available, and a systematic arrangement 
is adopted, the whole collection being divided into a physio- 
logical series, a pathological series, and a natural history 
series. The natural history series includes all preparations 
for the microscope of animals, plants, and minerals, with the 
exception of the Vertebrata, which are classed separately asa 
physiological and pathological group. This arrangement is 
most excellent, and adds greatly to the convenience and 
utility of the collection. The numbers of specimens are seen 
in the following list, taken from the report of the distin- 
guished conservator of the museum, Mr. Flower.
