 Microscope for their elucidation, have become so numerous, 

 that it is difficult at times to know how much of one, or how 

 much of another to cull from the multifarious British and 

 Foreign Journals, and Transactions of Societies continually on

 limited extent of our pages. As this inconvenience will for the 

 future be in a great measure obviated, we wish it to be gene-
