a sea squirt, wliich, when mounted, showed the extrusion of ono 

 of the young Ascidian tadpole-like larvae. The number of new 

 records in a short visit is no reflection on the published local 

 lists, but indicates the large field open to the collector of marine 

 biological material. 



After a few remarks by the Hon. Secretary and Mr. J. Milton 

 OfEord, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Curwen. 



The President called upon the Hon. Secretary to read two papers 

 by Mr. E. D. Evens on (1) " Fluid Mounting " and (2) " Mounting 

 Freshwater Algae, Mosses, etc." 



A very hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Evens. 



At the 557th Ordinary Meeting of the Club, held on January 11th, 

 1921, the President, Dr. A. B. Rendle, M.A., F.R.S., in the chair, 

 the minutes of the meeting held on December 14th, 1921, were 

 read and confirmed. 



Mrs. Bertha Mary Curwen, Mrs. Eva Curwen, Mrs. Muriel 

 Anne Fryer, Messrs. Henry Charles Shaw, Edward Ebden Jones 

 and Reginald Hunt were balloted for and duly elected members 

 of the Club; and as Hon. Member, Dr. E. J. Spitta, L.R.C.P., 

 M.R.C.S. Three nominations were read for the first time. 



The President announced the death of Mr. T. A. O'Donohoe, 

 I.S.O., and the news was received with much regret by the 

 members. Mr. O'Donohoe was an old member, and well known 

 as a very skilful microscopist and photographer ; he was a very 

 regular exhibitor at the meetings until the last few years, when 

 ill-health often prevented him from coming. A letter had been 

 received from Dr. E. J. Spitta's daughter tendering her father's 

 resignation from the membership of the Club owing to the weak 

 state of his health. In view of Dr. Spitta's services to the Club 

 and to microscopy, the committee recommended that he should 

 be elected an honorary member of the Club. This proposal was 

 unanimously approved by the meeting. 



The President then read the committee's nomination of officers 

 for the ensuing year, and nominations were made by the meeting 

 to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of the four senior 

 members of the committee. The election will take place at the 

 Annual General Meeting on February 8th.
