Ann Arbor Scientific Association. 31 



Harrington thought, from microscopical examination, that it 

 might be the dust from the streets of Chicago or some other 

 large city. Prof. Douglas expressed himself as convinced that 

 the threads in the dust were Pele's hair. Dr. Jackson and others 

 also partook in the discussion. 



Prof. Harrington spoke of the tenacity of life in some land- 

 snails, sent home from the Amazon by Prof. Steere. It is five 

 years since they came here, yet last summer some of them awoke 

 and moved about the case in which they were placed. 



No further business appearing, the Association adjourned. 

 C. E. GREENE, Secretary pro tern.
