THE MICROSCOPE. 19 



Blackham, H. F. Atwood, Geo. E. Fell, D. S. Kellicott, Mr. Ed. 

 Bausch. Mr. Henry Mills and Dr. W. C. Barrett, members of the 

 society were present and participated. 



"Eight duly signed recommendations to membership were pre- 

 sented and approved. From information in the hands of the com- 

 mittee it is safe to say the attendance at Chicago will be large and 

 the number and character of the papers will be such that the meet- 

 ing will be one of unusual interest. It was decided to open the 

 meeting at 10 a. m. August 7, and to devote the last hour of each 

 day (4 to 5 p. m.) to the exhibition and explanation of apparatus, 

 objects and methods. The president was requested to issue a cir- 

 cular to microscopists calling attention to the forthcoming meeting. 

 After passing upon matters of executive business, adjourned to meet 

 again in May. 



"The president of the Rochester Academy of Sciences informs 

 me that at its late meeting a resolution was adopted asking the 

 society to meet in Rochester in 1884. 



" I am assured that the Chicago society will do their part to 

 advance the interests of our meeting. A letter from President Mc- 

 Calla says that everything promises well for the Chicago meeting, a 

 number of valuable papers being already secured. A letter from 

 Mr. Thomas, of Chicago, says a meeting of their society was held 

 recently at which President McCalla was present. This was for the 

 express purpose of making arrangements for August next." 



We hope a large number of our subscribers, especially in the 

 west, will apply to Secretary Kellicott at once for the necessary 

 "applications for membership." Address the secretary at Buffalo, 

 N. Y. 



OUR readers have before them a journal of 48 pages. Six of these 

 journals are printed for one dollar. We decided to give, this 

 enlargement under the firm belief that all, or very nearly all, of our 

 old subscribers would renew. Do not disappoint us in this matter, 

 but send on your renewals at once. 



FR. J. EMMERICH appears with us for the first time. He 

 makes a specialty of the optical goods made by Mr. Zeiss and 

 will be glad to quote prices to all. Zeiss's goods need no mention, 

 they are well known everywhere as superior.
