choicest products of his investigations. Be sure to prepare 
something, and let this something be the best that circumstances 
permit. 
The promises for the “‘ working session,” under the inspiring 
management of Mr. Griffith, are abundantly satisfactory. We 
shall certainly have a very important exhibition of methods 
and processes, and this alone will, to many, repay the trouble 
and expense of the journey. The requests of the director are 
cordially commended to your respectful consideration. 
The Soiree will naturally attract a large attendance. It is 
hoped that members generally will aid in the exhibits, as they 
have kindly done in the past. Promptness of replies to the in- 
quiries of the committee is very desirable. 
Members are once more warmly urged to have manuscript 
ready when read for the printer. The publication of the Pro- 
ceedings ought not to be delayed one day on account of needed 
revision of text or preparation of drawings. 
Titles and abstracts of papers should be sent as soon as 
practicable to the Secretary, Prof. D. S. Kellicott, Ph. D., 119 
Fourteenth Street, Buffalo, N. Y. Send them now if possible, 
Some have already been received. 
WORKING SESSION. 
E. H. GRIFFITH, DIRECTOR OF WORKING SESSION. 
HE Working Session of the American Society of Microsco- 
pists to be held at Chautauqua, N. Y., in August, will be of 
more than usual interest. An entire day or an afternoon and 
evening will be devoted to it, and during the session more may 
be learned in microscopical technology by seeing the methods 
of work of the large number of experts who promise to assist, 
than in a whole year by reading books and papers at home. 
All microscopists who have so kindly given their time and 
their experience in the working session of previous meetings, 
and all other workers who can give instruction in any depart- 
ment of microscopy, are cordially invited to assist at Chautau- 
qua, providing they will report what they are willing to do to 
E. H. Griffith, Fairport, N. Y., previous to July Ist. It is very 
desirable to have a quick response to this invitation. Practica
