THE MICROSCOPE. 93 



attend to the mailing of the August issue if it were mailed at the 

 usual time. We therefore ask you to accept your August issue at 

 an early date, remembering that the next number will not appear 

 until tlie first week in October. In that number we expect to give 

 our readers a resume of the meeting in Elmira. 



ONE of the finest things in the line of microscopy that has come 

 to our notice is a new weekly edited by Arthur C. Cole, of Lon- 

 don, assisted by several eminent specialists. The journal is called 

 ''Studies in Microscopical Science." Nos. i and 2 of vol. I. are be- 

 fore us. No. I describes yellow fibro-cartilage, methods of prepara- 

 tion, bibliography, etc.; No. 2 describes a dicotyledonous stem. 

 These studies will include: 



1. Microscopical Biology in all its branches. 



2. The Physiological and Pathological Histology of the Body. 



3. The essentially modern sciences of Microscopical Palaeon- 

 tology, Mineralogy and Petrology. 



Subscribers will be entitled to the following considerations: 

 Each subscriber will receive every week during the term of his 

 subscription, 



1. A microscopical preparation of the highest class and most 

 perfect finish. 



2. A printed description of the preparation, in which will be 

 noted: 



a. The literature concerning it, 

 l>. The habitat, &C., 



c. The methods employed in its preparation as a means of 

 study, 



d. Its principal features, and any necessary additional remarks, 



3. A lithographed or engraved drawing, or diagram, of the 

 preparation, in the execution of which the following details will be 

 most carefully considered and adhered to: 



a. Accuracy, 



b. Finish, 



c. Indication of natural size, &:c. 



The preparations during the first year will consist of a series of 

 26 histological, 18 botanical and 8 petrological sections issued al- 

 ternately. 



Twenty-five cents will secure a specimen number of the period- 

 ical.
