THe MIcRoscops. 165 
Soiree and ample arrangements will be made to provide for 
what will probably prove to be the largest number of micro- 
scopes ever brought together for the purpose. 
During a recent trip east I met a number of microscopists 
who have never attended any of the meetings, but who have 
signified their intention of doing so this year and are look- 
ing foward to the event with a considerable degree of interest. 
We have been informed that the President and some mem- 
bers of the Royal Microscopical Society will attend the meet- 
ings as well as some of those who will attend the meetings of 
the British and American Associations for the Advancement 
of Science, so that we are justified in anticipating the largest 
and most successful meeting which has yet been held. With 
kind regards I am, Very truly yours, 
Epwarp Bauscu.

are: H. Christopher, M. D., president; R. E. Turner, vice- 
president; H. W. Westover, secretary.
