Kansas. — Sphinx Society, Atchison. 



There is some question regarding the propriety of classifying this 

 society as microscopical, although a large number of its members 

 are interested in microscopy and frequently read papers bearing on 

 the subject. From 1SS9 to 1891 there existed at Atchison a purely 

 microscopical society, that gradually merged into the Sphinx. 

 The latter was organized in November, 1890, and is not incorpo- 

 rated. It has no printed constitution. It meets fortnightly, on 

 Thursday evenings, from October to June. Average attendance, 

 10 ; number of members, 22 active, 3 honorary. Dues 50 cents 

 on entrance, and assessments as required. No apparatus, mounts, 

 nor books. No account of meetings published. President, A. 

 H. Lanphear,M. D. ; Secretary and Treasurer, E. B. Knerr, Sc. D.
