Apvil. For mstance, whenever we look at a remote luminous dise 
with the pupil of the eye partially covered by the eyelids, the 
watery fluids along their margins occasion upward and downward 
beams of light to issue from it, and a casual observer, whose at- 
tention had never been drawn to this contingency, might readily, 
when in expectation of strange phenomena, accept these beams as 
of such a nature. 
Thanks were voted to the contributors of Papers and other 
communications, and to the donors to the Museum and the Library. 
Thanks were also voted to the President, who had so ably filled
