PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY.

Mr. Michael said they were greatly obliged to Mr. Waters for this 
paper, and also for the summary of its contents. A systematic paper 
such as this was not so much intended to be read and discussed at a 
meeting, as to be a permanent record, while as a work of reference to 
those who were studying the subject it would prove to be of consider- 
able value. The Society was to be congratulated upon having such a 
paper to print in its Transactions. 
The thanks of the Meeting were unanimously voted to Mr. Waters 
for his paper. 
The following Instruments, Objects, &c., were exhibited:— 
Messrs. R. and J. Beck: — Two achromatic 1/12-in. oil-immersion 
Objectives of N.A. 1 • 0 and 1 • 25.

media.
