MR. J. MOTTRAM ON THE NORFOLK AND NORWICH 
result ; and it may be here noted that as most of the microscopists 
were members of the library, a strong bond of union always existed 
between the two bodies. It was somewhere about 1866 that it 
became definitely fixed that the meeting of the British Association 
for 1868 should be held in Norwich, and it was not surprising that 
during the intervening time the approach of so important an event 
was continually referred to at the monthly meetings of the Society, 
and it gave the members great pleasure to offer to assist at the 
evening soiree in St. Andrew’s Hall. 
Ten instruments were then used for the display of a miscellaneous 
selection of objects, and were crowded with visitors during the 
evening. 
No further soirees were given by the Society, but in 1871 and 
1875 very pleasant evenings, were by his invitation, spent at 
Mr. Brown’s, at which each member had the opportunity of 
introducing a friend.
