86 THE MICROSCOPE. June 



4. Au instrument such as the one I show this evening 

 can be used with very great comfort in the sitting 

 posture, with the arms and wrists resting on the inclin- 

 ing planes above described. This would be impractic- 

 able with a full-sized stand racked up so as to focus a 

 three or four-inch power on an object lying on the 

 ordinary stage. — Quekett Microscoi)ical Club Journal.

The Mississippi Valley Medical Association. — A meet- 

 ing of the Executive Committee of the Mississippi Valley 

 Medical Association was held at Atlanta, on May 6th, and 

 the following- g-entlemen were appointed to deliver ad- 

 dresses : 



Dr. H. N. Moyer, Chicag-o, Address on Medicine. 



Dr. Horace H. Grant, Louisville, Address onSurg-ery. 

 The indications are -that the meeting- to be held at St. 

 Paul, on Oct. 20, 21, 22 and 23, will be the larg-est and 

 most successful in the history of the Association. As all 

 the railroads will offer reduced rates for the round trip, 

 an opportunity will be g-iven to visit St. Paul and Minne- 

 sota during the most delightful season of the year.
