THE MICROSCOPE. 



Dr. Fell, who represented the Buffalo Club at Elmira June 

 2oth, gave an account of the very successful soiree of the Elmira 

 Microscopical Society. He stated that the people of Elmira were 

 working with great enthusiasm to make the coming meeting of the 

 American Society of Microscopists to be held at Elmira in August 

 next the most successful meeting of the society yet held. He also 

 reported the meeting of the executive committee of the National 

 Society at Elmira August 21st. From the character of the papers 

 already offered, the scientific value of the meeting is certainly as- 

 sured. 



Dr. Lucien Howe read a paper from Max Schultze of Vienna, 

 in which the latter coincided with Mr. Henry Mills and Prof. D. S. 

 Kellicott relative to the structure of the fresh water sponge. Mr. 

 Carter, of England, high authority on the history of the SpongiadcT 

 or fresh water sponges, had gracefully backed down and acknowl- 

 edged his error in certain points of structure relating thereto. 



Dr. Barker, who had expected to present the paper of the even- 

 ing on Histology, owing to lack of time was excused for the cime 

 being. 



It may be well to mention that the regular meeting of the 

 Microscopic Club is held the second Tuesday evening in each month 

 at the Central school building. Anyone interested in the work of 

 the club is cordially invited to attend the meetings. 



Lef. H. Smith, Secretary.
