PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 

 QUEKETT MICROSCOPICAL CLUB. 



At the 54:5th Ordinary Meeting of the Club, held on October Mth, 

 1919, Mr. D. J. Scourfield, F.Z.S., F.R.M.S., Vice-President, in 

 the chair, the minutes of the meeting held on June 10th were 

 read and confirmed. 



Messrs. Frank A. Scott, F. E. Cocks and John Turnbull were 

 balloted for and duly elected members of the Club. Eight nomina-

 Society of London had kindly promised to help the Club if they

 meetings at the Society's house, 11, Chandos Street, Cavendish 

 Square. It had been found possible to find room for the Cabinet, 

 but not for the books. With regard to the Library, Dr. Rendle had 

 very kindly approached the Trustees of the British Museum (Nat. 

 Hist.), South Kensington, and obtained permission for the books 

 to be housed in the Museum for the present. They are now 

 in a private gallery at the Museum, and it is hoped that arrange-

 to them. The thanks of the Club were accorded to all those who 

 had taken part in the work of finding new premises and moving 

 the Club's property from 20, Hanover Square, special mention 

 being made of Mr. Perks, on whom the main responsibility had
