The Microscope. 24:9 



meeting, which will be held in Pittsburgh, Pa., beginning August 

 30th and lasting four days. From this circular we take the follow- 

 ing data: 



" The time is set for the week preceding the meeting of the 

 International Medical Congress at Washington, and will therefore be 

 convenient in both time and place for those who desire to attend 

 both conventions. It is hoped that we shall have the pleasure of 

 welcoming at this meeting distinguished men of Science from abroad 

 as well as from our own country, who may be on their way to the 

 Medical Congress. The value and position of our organization have 

 been established, and it is confidently expected that many more of 

 the working microscopists of the country vnll join the Society at the 

 coming meeting, and so help to make it the center of active micro- 

 scopical research. 



" It has often been a matter for expressed regret that * * * 

 so little opportunity had occurred for becoming acquainted with one 

 another. This has led to the attempt to make the Pittsburgh meet- 

 ing an en masse affair, so that it may be a social as well as a scien- 

 tific success. The Mouongahela House is well suited for this pur- 

 pose. There are sufficient rooms for all, and convenient reception 

 rooms, which will be at the disposal of members. It is urged upon 

 all to make their home at this house. The rates will be $2.50 a day. 



"• It is unnecessary to urge the claims of the ' Working Session. '^ 

 * * * The preparations for this session are entrusted to a 

 special committee consisting of Hon. J. D. Cox, Prof. T. J. Bumll, 

 and the Secretary. 



"During one evening of the week there will be a popular exhir 

 bition of objects and microscopes, and all members attending are 

 urged to bring their microscopes and good objects for this occasion, 



"Members are once more warmly urged to have manuscript 

 ready when read for the printer. The publication of the proceed- 

 ings ought not to be delayed. 



"Inquiries concerning local arrangements may be addressed to 

 Jas, H. Logan, 804 Penn Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. Titles and 

 abstracts of papers should be sent as soon as practicable to the Sec- 

 retary, D. S. Kellicott, 119 Fourteenth St., Buffalo, N. Y." 



We earnestly urge all who are interested in microscopy to be 

 present and become members, if they are not already such. The 

 Society is doing a good work and wishes to extend its usefulness. 

 Be there, then, if possible, and make the decennial meeting one long 

 to be remembered.
