AMERICAN SOCIETIES INTERESTED IN 

 MICROSCOPY.— II. 



BY Chas. W. Smiley, 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



(Continued from page n.) 



Since publishing the provisional list in January some very in- 

 teresting facts have come to light, but from many societies noth- 

 ing has been heard. Mr. Geo. Otis Mitchell, of San Francisco, 

 has placed at our disposal all the information that has been col- 

 lected by the San Francisco Microscopical Society. Much of it 

 is incorporated in this article. 



The inquiry has revealed the fact that 15 societies have ceased 

 to exist, or at least suspended action indefinitely. The list is as 

 follows, and we desire that those who know the facts will inform 

 us when these societies discontinued holding meetings, and for 

 what reasons.
