Brighton, July , 1872. 
And asked the co-operation of the different country and metropolitan 
societies, as well as microscopists throughout the county, and the 
principal London makers. Promises of help came in very freely ; but 
although the rooms in which the soirees were held included the Dome, 
the Royal Exchange, and the New Library and Picture Gallery, the 
space at their disposal did not admit of more than about eighty micro- 
scopes, allowing sufficient room to each to prevent crowding. 
The arrangements made by the committee admitted the placing the 
members of societies at one long table, capable of accommodating fifty 
microscopes, and giving a similar table at another part of the Corn 
Exchange to the opticians ; this enabled the Society to carry out the 
programme as arranged by the committee. 
A number of living objects had been collected and dredged by 
Dr. Badcock, and other gentlemen ; but to guard against accidents 
some 300 objects, illustrative of marine botany and zoology, were 
provided by Drs. Ormerod, F.R.S., and Hallifax ; Messrs. T. Curties, 
Hennah, and Wonfor ; classified in accordance with the memorandum 
issued by the Society. 
The different societies which co-operated with the Society, and 
were represented by deputations, were the Royal Microscopical 
Society, the Quekett Club, the Lewes Natural History Society, the 
Croydon Club, the Eastbourne Natural History Society, the West 
Brighton Club, and the Brighton Medico-Chirurgical Society ; while 
the gentlemen who exhibited were, Drs. Badcock, Carpenter, F.R.S. 
(the President of the Association), Hall, Hallifax, Kebbell, Ormerod, 
F.R.S., and Sim; General Worster; Captains Marshall Hall, and 
Noble ; Revs. J. H. Cross and W. Fayne ; Messrs. Ardley, Aylen,
