PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 
this was simply a description of species intended rather for reference 
than reading. 
The Chairman said that papers of this kind were not of much in- 
terest as read at a meeting, but they were very valuable contributions to 
the Proceedings of the Society, and were extremely useful for reference. 
This paper would, of course, appear in the Journal, and would, he hoped, 
be a worthy successor to the series of papers on the Foraminifera of the 
Gault by Mr. Chapman, which had been so recently concluded. 
The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Mr. Durrand 
for his communication. 
The following Instruments, Objects, &c., were exhibited:— 
Mr. J. E. Barnard: — Lantern slides produced by the aid of the elec- 
tric arc, as described at the meeting in November last. 
Mr. T. C. White : — Lantern slides illustrating his paper on Micro- 
Crystallography, with preparations showing the formation of micro- 
crystals under the Microscope. 
New Fellow: — The following was elected an Ordinary Fellow: — 
Dr. George May Lowe. 
MEETING 
Held on the 16tii of March, 1898, at 20 Hanover Square, W. 
E. M. Nelson, Esq., President, in the Chair. 
The Minutes of the Meeting of 16th of February last were read and 
confirmed, and were signed by the President. 
The following Donation was announced : 
Annual Report of the Local Government Board, 
1891-95. (2 vols. 8vo, London, 1896.) 
Annual Report of the Local Government Board, 
1895- 96. (8vo, London, 1896.) 
Annual Report of the Local Government Board, 
1896- 97. (8vo, London, 1897.) 
The Secretary said the only donation to the Library since the last 
meeting (with the exception of exchanges and reprints) consisted of four 
volumes of reports from the Local Government Board. These would 
not perhaps at first sight be regarded as very useful to microscopists or 
as entertaining literature ; but inspection of them would prove that they 
contained much that was of considerable value, especially on pathogenic 
microbes, and that was well worth perusal. 
The thanks of the Society were unanimously voted to the Local 
Government Board for their donation.
