Microscopists will please confer, as soon as possible after their arrival, with Dr. W. 
W. Butterfield at the Reception Room in the State House, in relation to the exhibition 
and care of any instruments or apparatus they may bring.

By order of the Committee. 
DANIEL MACAULBY, Chairman. 
E. T. COX, Secretary. 
Indianapolis, Ind., June, 1871. 
We can give the following additional information to that con- 
tained in the Circular of the Local Committee. The meetings of 
all the sections, and the reception room and offices of the Local 
and Standing Committees will be at the State House, Sections A 
and B having allotted to them the Senate Chamber and the Hall 
of Representatives. The address of Prof. Hunt, the retiring pres- 
ident, will be delivered on Wednesday (the first) evening at the 
Music Hall, and we understand that President Gray will not take 
the chair until after the address, thus introducing one of the much 
desired reforms, which we hope will be followed by other needed 
changes. All the Railroads terminating at Indianapolis have agreed 
to furnish free return passes to members, and the Local Committee 
are endeavoring to obtain similar concessions from connecting 
roads. Prof. Cox, the Local Secretary and State Geologist of — 
Indiana, in answer to our letter of inquiry, has given us a most 
favorable account of the health and comfort of the city, and 
assures us that if members wish to get sick they must go else- 
where, but if they want to enjoy a pleasant vacation and return 
to their duties fat and hearty he advises them to attend the Indi- 
anapolis meeting. We have in a previous number called atten- 
tion to the proposed excursions of the Association. Prof. Cox 
also assures us that perfect safety will be guaranteed to the micro- 
scopes that are taken to the meeting, and that a suite of rooms, 
properly furnished, have been secured at the State House for the 
use of the section of microscopy, and that postal and telegraph 
facilities will be provided at the reception room. In fact, nothing 
will be omitted by the Local Committee to make the meeting an 
agreeable reunion and scientific success,
