 Dallinger's (Eev. Dr.) Presidential Address. 



[" Professor Dallinger presents a far more commendable course, as shown in Lis 

 laborious and conscientious work described in his presidential address before the 

 Eoyal Microscopical Society. Instead of predetermining tliat an organism cannot 

 adjust itstlf to changed environment, because it might follow that species could 

 be evolved from each other, a conclusion at variance with our narrow notion of 

 the way in which an Infinite Creator would proceed in peopling a world with 

 animals and plants, he goes about a series of most delicate exiaeriments, lasting 

 through seven years without a break, to learn if it is a fact that environing con- 

 ditions may be greatly changed and yet the organism adjust itself to the change. 

 No one can read his account without admiration for such painstaking and in- 

 telligent experimentation and for the determination, after the break in the series, 

 to go over the ground again. Such work done by the leaders inspires the rank 

 and file of workers, and it is such work as this which has given us scientific 

 discoveries and their benefits."]

[Concludes that when the object is to demonstrate to a class, or to a small company, 

 who can critically examine the image as displayed on the screen, the image, as 

 taken direct from the object, is much to be preferred; but that for large 

 companies, and where the close examination of the image would be impracticable, 

 the photomicrograph is better adapted to the purpose.]
