A Microscope by Cary Mr. Frank Gleadow. 
The President called attention to an old Microscope by Cary, pre- 
sented to the Society by Mr. Gleadow. He hoped to be able shortly to 
find the name of the inventor of this instrument, and regretted that he 
had for the moment lost the reference. It was a very interesting addition 
to the Society’s collection, and their special thanks were due to the donor. 
It had been already figured in the Journal for 1898, p. 474, fig. 82. 
The President said that the Finance Committee had reported that a 
great many subscriptions for the current year remained unpaid. He 
thought it would only be necessary to mention this to get the matter 
put right. 
Messrs. Watson and Sons exhibited a new School Microscope, which, 
contrary to the usual rule, was provided with a diagonal rack and pinion 
for coarse adjustment, and no fine adjustment. The special idea in view 
was to provide a thoroughly strong and well made instrument at a low 
price (see p. 649).
