Two collections have been submitted in competition for 

 Prize 16, — the best set of 25 microscopic slides. The set by 

 Mr. T. H. Corry is illustrative of the special department of 

 botany to which he is at present giving his more particular 

 attention. The set sent in by Rev. H. W. Lett, being more 

 general in their scope, and showing more manipulative skill in 

 preparation, we consider more worthy of the prize, and award it 

 accordingly.

Prize III. — The collection of Rev. C. H. Waddell, sent in 

 competition for Prize No. III., consists of specimens representing 

 over 100 species of mosses. These specimens are named, 

 mounted, and classified in a most creditable manner, and form 

 an exceedingly good result for one year's work at such a difficult 

 subject as the mosses. In this case the conditions have been 

 complied with, and the collection being of abundant merit, the 

 above mentioned prize is awarded to Mr. Waddell. 



Prize 22. — The collection sent by Rev. H. W. Lett in com- 

 petition for Prize No. 22, consists of a large number of specimens 

 of mosses and Hepaticse which were collected by him at several 

 of the Club's Field Meetings, in 1882. The specimens are 

 mounted and arranged as prescribed, and represent a very fair 

 amount of critical observation and industry, and Prize 22 is 

 accordingly adjudged to Mr. Lett.
