THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROSCOPISTS. 



BY D. S. KELLICOTT, PH. D. 



THE sixth annual meeting of the American Society of Micro- 

 scopists was held in Chicago, commencing Tuesday, August 7, 

 1883, and closing Friday, following. The local arrangements were 

 complete for the comfort and convenience of the society, and all 

 who were in attendance will long cherish the memory of our hearty 

 reception by the scientific societies of Chicago. About one hundred 

 members were present during the meeting and ninety were elected 

 to membership. There was the usual earnestness and push dis- 

 played in the business of the society and in the reading and discus- 

 sion of papers. 



It is not expedient to present an outline of all the papers read, 

 but a few may be mentioned without disrespect to those authors not 

 mentioned. The papers of length, referring to the microscope and 

 apparatus, were by Dr. Geo. E. Blackham and Prof. W. A. Rogers.
