Dr. Dallinger said that so far as the actual structure of this arrange- 
ment was concerned, no doubt Mr. Nelson was perfectly correct, but the 
fact of its having been described in the Journal did not necessarily 
imply that the Society approved of the apparatus. 
The President called attention to the note at the foot of p. 342 of 
the same number of the J ournal in which it was clearly stated that the 
Society “ do not hold themselves responsible for the views of the authors 
of the papers noted, nor for any claim to novelty or otherwise made by 
them,” the same intimation appearing at the commencement of the 
“ Summary ” in every number issued. Mr. Nelson was quite right in 
pointing out the character of the apparatus described and due weight 
would no doubt be given to his remarks when they appeared in the next 
number of the Journal.* 
The President reminded the Fellows that they had come to the end 
of their last meeting for the present season and would not reassemble 
until October 19th. He gave notice that the Society’s rooms would be 
closed from August 15th to September 12th; also that the Conver- 
sazione had been arranged for November 30th.
