PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 
The President proposed a cordial vote of thanks to Dr. Mercer for 
what he regarded as the finest example of what could be done by means 
of photomicrography ; the exhibition of these slides had been a matter of 
interest to all who had seen them. 
Prof, Bell said that the Council had been taking into consideration 
what arrangements could be made for holding the usual Conversazione, 
but they had found it impossible to secure an evening earlier than one 
in May. Their experience had, however, been that meetings of that 
kind held in May, when the evenings were getting light, were always 
very poorly attended, and on that account they had at present hesitated 
to make a definite arrangement. The matter would, however, receive 
their further attention, but if it was ultimately found necessary to 
abandon a meeting in May, he trusted that it would be found that 
neither the meeting nor the Fellows of the Society would suffer any loss 
from a postponement. 
The following Instruments, Objects, &c., were exhibited: — 
Mr. G. C. Karop : — Swift’s new Fine-adjustment to Substage. 
Dr. A. C. Mercer : — Lantern Exhibition of Photomicrographs and 
Apparatus. 
New Fellows: — The following were elected Ordinary Fellows: — 
Mr. C. J. Pound, Dr. Lloyd Tuckey, and Mr. E. T. Lawley York.
