1124 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Prof. Stewart said that sections were made in this way by Prof. 

 Moseley, in which the hard and soft tissues were shown together. 

 Copal was the medium employed in mounting. 



Mr. Crisp called attention to the fact that amongst the Cantor 

 Lectures to be delivered at the Society of Arts this session, there was 

 a course on " The Microscope," by Mr. J. Mayall, jun., commencing 

 on Monday, the 23rd November, and continued on the four following 

 Mondays. For the purpose of illustrating these lectures, Mr. Mayall 

 would exhibit several of the instruments belonging to the Society, 

 and also many from his (Mr. Crisp's) collection. The first lecture 

 would be on " The Origin of the Microscope, and its construction to 

 the date of the application of achromatism," a limited number of 

 tickets for which would be placed at the disposal of the Fellows of 

 the Society. 



It was announced that the Council had resolved to close the 

 Library on Wednesday evenings at 9.30 instead of at 10 o'clock as 

 formerly. The Fellows who attended on Wednesday evenings had
