Prof. F. Jeffrey Bell said that several of these donations were worth 
calling attention to as being of special interest to the Fellows of the 
Society. Mr. J. B. Shearer had written a letter saying that he read 
with great interest the Proceedings of the Society, especially with 
reference to photomicrography, and he had sent over four photomicro- 
graphs which he thought would perhaps be of interest. There was 
also a manual of practical micrography — the first work of the kind, he 
believed, which had been published in Spanish. The Spaniards had in 
times gone by distinguished themselves in matters of geographical 
discovery, but they had not hitherto been known very much in con- 
nection with histology. Part 22 of the Report of the Norwegian North 
Sea expedition had also been sent to them • the illustrations in the 
preceding numbers were specially remarkable for tlieir excellence, and 
no higher praise could be given to those in the present part than to 
say that they were in all respects equal to those which had previously 
appeared. Some time ago the Boston Society of Natural History pointed 
out that their set of the Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society was 
not complete, and in responding to their request for such numbers as 
were deficient, it had been mentioned that there were similar de- 
ficiencies in the Society’s series of the Proceedings and Transactions of 
the Boston Society. The result was the large pile of numbers upon the 
table, which had been forwarded in order to make the sets complete. 
These would prove a valuable addition to the Library. 
The President thought the photographs from Mr. Shearer were most
