Mr. Hankey read a paper "On a Microscope combining Excellence with Cheapness," introducing a Field's Society of Arts Prize Student's or Educational Microscope.

Regular meeting, Friday, the 29th. Samuel J. Jones, Esq., M.D., in the chair. Twenty-five members present. Visitor: O. F. Fuller, Esq. New member elected: William M. Scudder. Mr. George M. Higginson gave a brief and interesting description of a fine Binocular Microscope made expressly for Albert A. Munger, Esq., by Mr. C. Baker, 243 and 244, High Holborn, London. Mr. Munger also exhibited a well-selected series of microscopical objects, prepared chiefly by Topping. The handsome cabinet, of polished mahogany, with plate-glass door, containing twenty-four drawers, in which the objects lay flat, was much admired by the members present.

A HISTORY OF INFUSORIA,

Including all the British and Foreign Species of
DESMIDIACEÆ and DIATOMACEÆ. By ANDREW
PRITCHARD, Esq. Fourth Edition, enlarged and re-
vised by J. T. ARLIDGE, M.B., WM. ARCHER, Esq., J.
RALFS, M.R.C.S., Prof. WILLIAMSON, F.R.S., and the
AUTHOR.

London: WHITTAKER & CO., Ave Maria Lane.

This work is devoted to a History-based upon the researches of British and Foreign Naturalists-of each group of organisms comprised by Ehrenberg under the term Infusoria, including the Desmidiacere, Diatomacere, Phytozoa, Protozoa, Rotatoria, and Tardigrada. This is followed by a systematic description of the several Families, Genera, and all known species, recent and f ssil. The present edition has been greatly enlarged, and is illustrated by nearly 2000 magnified figures. The New Plates on Diatomaccæ are by Tuffen West, F.L.S.

To the Geologist and Microscopic Observer this work specially addresses itself, as a practical manual of the present state of our knowledge of the multitude of invisible forms of life, above named, not to be found in a single volume, nor in any one language.
