1893.] MICR(^SCOPICAL JOURNAL. 14.^ 



cyclopa'dia of micioscopv It is vcrv coiivciiiciit mid contains 

 much more information than tlit- indexes published at the end of 

 cacli vohune. 



For instance, mention could not he made in the usual index of 

 the various methods ilescrihed in articles whose titles are general. 

 A paper on manipulation, mounting, staining, section cutting, etc., 

 would furnish me a great number of slips. But these minute 

 points are obtainable only by reading carefully every part of an 

 article; but this pays in the knowledge which one accumulates. 

 I have learned more of the subject the past three weeks, while in- 

 dexing some back volumes, than I could have learned in many 

 vears of careless reatling. All newspajier clippings are numliered 

 consecutivelv and indexed witii the lest. A. P. \Vi:.\\kk.

(i6) Microscopical Titles. — This scheme will be of un- 

 doubted usefulness to writers on microscopical topics. I shall 

 probablv use it in order to test it in practice. But to the general 

 reader, while the list will be useful, the labor of cutting and ar- 

 ranging will perhaps seem beyond what he wishes to put forth. 

 I enclose a list of titles and can send more if called for.

(17) Titles. — My opinion is that this leaflet is a good thing. 

 I will use only a part of it, as I have but few books on microscopy. 

 The tvpe is too small and the titles too crowded. I would rec- 

 ommend using the larger type, and some leads and a rule between 

 ihe items. Geo. R. Lumsden.

(iS) Titles. — I am pleased with 3our scheme of getting up an 

 index to microscopical literature, and can supply you with 100 

 or more titles. H. AI. Wheepley.

 ical publications. M. D. Ewell.

(20) Titles. — I enclose a list of books on microscopical tech- 

 nique taken from mv card catalogue which ma\- be of service to

(31) Titles. — I think your plan of a bibliographv of the micro- 

 scope a \ erv good one. Should you continue it, I will gladlv 

 send vou some titles from a bibliography which I have been col- 

 lecting for several years. E. G. Love.

(22'» Titles. — Your suggestion as to titles is excellent. To 

 show mv appreciation of its wisdom and value I enclose a list of 

 titles. If others will do the same it will prove very useful. It 

 the titles were spaced asunder there would be no fault foimd, I 

 think. C). S. WE.sTcoxr.
