78 THE MICROSCOPE. 



THE AMERICAN SOCIETY. 



The society then discussed plans for the suitable entertainment 

 of the American Society of Microscopists, which holds its meeting 

 in this city, commencing August 15th and continuing four days. A 

 committee, consisting of Dr. Gleason, Dr. Up de Graff and F. G. 

 Hall, was appointed by the society to nominate other committees to 

 carry out the washes of the local society in this matter. The 

 national society will be entertained at the expense of the Elmira 

 society, and the occasion made as pleasant and profitable as possible. 

 It is expected that 150 or 200 delegates, including many of the most 

 learned and scientific men of the United States, will be present. 

 The session will terminate with an excursion or banquet, or both, as 

 may be arranged by the committee appointed. 



After inspecting the specimens under the large array of micro- 

 scopes on' duty for that purpose, the society adjourned, to meet at 

 the call of the president.
