73G PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Mr. Dowdcswcll said bo quito agreed with what had been said as 

 to the great valuo of photography for microscopical illustration, 

 although ho did not hold with Koch the opinion that it should 

 supersede entirely all other methods ; ho thought rather that both 

 drawing and photography should bo cmjdoyed for the purpose. Tho 

 results showu by Dr. Crookshauk in the room that evening wero 

 very beautiful aud well worthy of examination by all who were 

 interested in the subject. 



The President said they were no doubt all agreed that the paper 

 was a most valuable contribution to the important subject of photo- 

 micrography, and it was certainly very encouraging to note the 

 advances which were being made in the art as the process became 

 more complete. For his own part he was very glad to have had tho 

 opportunity of seeing the results of such good work as Dr. Crook- 

 shank had produced before them that evening. The plates which 

 he exhibited would bear much studying, and would impart a great 

 deal of information to any one who gave attention to them. 



Mr. F. Enock exhibited sketches of some of his slides, the various 

 parts being numbered and named and accompanied by a short ex- 

 planation. It is intended to issue sketches of all the mouth-organs
