CUEATOKS' EEPOET. 



The Curators report that the microscopes are in much the 

 same state as they were at the hist Eeport, with the exception 

 that cue of the Colhus Microscopes has been overhauled by the 

 maker and has just been returned. They recommend to the 

 consideration of the Committee the desirabiHty of purchasing 

 stand condensers for four more of the microscopes. 



The suggestion mentioned in their last Eeport — viz., that 

 new lamps be purchased, has been carried into effect, and the 

 Society is now possessed of suitable lamps. 



Two side reflectors have also been added during the past 

 year to the accessories belonging to the Crouch and Swift 

 Microscopes. 



They have pleasure to record that the following slides have 

 been presented to the Society during tli^ past year : — 



One sHde of volcanic dust from Krakatoa, by ]\Ir. T. H. 

 Waller ; six slides, four of Echinoderms, and two of the Entozoa, 

 by Mr. W. F. Sharpus, of London ; also four slides, made 

 from rocks collected at Oban, by Mr. T. H. Waller. 



Mr. C. Pumphrey has also most generously presented to 

 the Society a new oxy-hydrogen lantern, in place of the old one, 

 which is now somewhat the worse for wear. 



The Curators v/ish, in conclusion, to remind the ^lembers 

 of the various Sections of the Society that they are open to 

 receive further contributions of slides towards furnishing the 

 cabinet with microscopic objects.
