i6 2 THE MICROSCOPE. 



we were obliged to cut it short and add the "to be continued." We 

 wrote to the doctor explaining matters, when he very kindly sent us 

 the interesting paper found in this number, to take the place of the 

 copy lost. 



WE have some beautiful mounting material of oxide of gold and 

 wire silver, received from Prof. J. Alden Smith, of Denver, 

 Colorado. Professor Smith sends a very liberal supply of each of 

 these unique specimens, and they are well worth the price asked, 

 fifty cents each.

Professor Stowell and Mrs. L. R. Stowell are entering the liter- 

 ary field to quite an extent. Already Mr. S. has edited " The 

 Students' Manual of Histology," a work of about 300 pages, now in 

 its second edition, and together they have written a volume of 250 

 pages on "Microscopical Diagnosis." They also have in prepara- 

 tion another volume on " How to Prepare Tissues," besides editing 

 "The Microscope," an illustrated bi-monthly journal of 48 pages, 

 devoted to microscopical work connected ' with medicine and 

 pharmacy. — Ann Arbor Courier. 



Microscopical work is being developed in the University, and 

 there is a discussion as to the formation of a special laboratory in 

 which can be formed a school of microscopy. Work is now prose- 

 cuted in the following branches of science: Human Histology, 

 Comparative Histology, Vegetable Histology, Botanical Research, 

 Zoological Research, Palaeontological Research, Pathological Ana- 

 tomy, Psychological and Analytical Chemistry. Should a school be 

 established Dental Histology, and a course in Microscopical technics 

 would be added, thus making it broader and more complete than at 

 any other university in the country. — Ann Arbor Courier.
