Meeting of 20th November, 1895, at 20 Hanover Square, W. 
The President (A. D. Michael, Esq., F.L.S), in the Chair. 
The Minutes of the Meeting of October 16th, 1895, were read and 
confirmed, and were signed by the President. 
The List of Donations (exclusive of exchanges and reprints) received 
.since the last meeting was submitted, and the thanks of the Society were 
given to the donor. 
From 
W. Griffiths, The Principal Starches used as Food. (8vo, Cirencester, 
1895) The Author. 
Prof. F. J. Bell said that their only donation that evening was a 
copy of a little work entitled £ On the Principal Starches used as Food,’ 
which would be additionally valuable to the Society as having been 
dedicated by the author to their Treasurer, Mr. W. T. Suffolk. 
The President said he was sorry to have to tell the Fellows present 
that owing to unforeseen difficulties which had occurred at the last 
moment at the meeting of the Council that evening, the paper which 
stood first upon the Agenda could not be read. He would therefore call 
upon Mr. Chapman to favour them with his paper in continuation of the 
series £ On the Foraminifera of the Gault of Folkestone.’ 
Mr. F. Chapman said that the paper itself was of too technical and 
• descriptive a character to be of much interest apart from the illustrations 
with which it would be accompanied when in print ; he therefore would 
merely give them an outline of the contents, indicating the genera, 
which were more particularly treated in this addition to his series of 
papers upon the subject. 
The President was sure that all would agree in passing a hearty 
vote of thanks to Mr. Chapman for his paper which, when they got it 
printed in the Journal, they would no doubt find was a valuable one. 
The thanks of the Society were unanimously voted to Mr. Chapman 
for his paper. 
Mr. Conrad Beck exhibited a dissecting Microscope made for 
Prof. Hickson, the wood frame of which was made sufficiently large to 
.afford a sloping support to the whole of the worker’s forearm. It was
