the Section. Mr. Hep worth’s industry and success in the 
preparation of injected objects for the microscope, and his 
liberality in placing them at the disposal of microscopists, 
was well known and appreciated by the members of the 
Section. 
Mr. Linton exhibited some neatly executed drawings and 
mounted slides of a Coccus found on an orange sent to him 
by Mr. Heys. The late Mr. R. Beck discovered this Coccus to 
be of the same species as those found on a Cotoneaster and 
Rosebush in his garden. 
The President exhibited two erecting eyepieces for the 
microscope, by Nachet of Paris. Instead of placing the 
erector between the eyepiece and object glass, as is usual in 
the English instruments, Nachet combines the erector and 
„ eyepiece together. In one form the prism is placed between 
the eye lens and the field lens of the eyepiece ; in the second 
form the prism is placed over the eye lens of the eyepiece. 
He also exhibited a very portable compound microscope 
for travellers’ use. 
Mr. Linton exhibited some live Diatoms from Southport.
