the veterinary college, and took place in the college building. A 
reception was held in the main hall by the ladies, and a pleasant 
half hour was passed in the formal presentation of the guests, after 
which Prof. Simon H. Gage gave some splendid views from the 
stereopticon and large extension lantern, illustrating the methods 
of studying histology and pathology. Up in the microscopical 
corridors there were awaiting the members innumerable instru¬ 
ments filled with instructive slides, but the point of most inter¬ 
est in this section was the excellent view to be had of the circu¬ 
lation of the blood in the gills of salamanders caught in Cayuga 
Lake ; the tissues being so thin as to practically be no barrier 
to an unobstructed view. Then there was an apparatus indicat¬ 
ing the beating of the heart of a turtle, another measuring the 
depth of the respirations of a man, and so on. When these en¬ 
tertainments were completed, all repaired to a frugal repast 
prepared for the guests on the lower floor, the affair being over 
in time to catch the trolleys for the hotels. 
All in all, the meeting at Ithaca marked a new era in asso- 
ciational affairs in the Empire State, and all were so well 
pleased that they unanimously voted to accept Dean Law’s in¬ 
vitation to hold the next meeting in the same place.
