The
zoology and geology by the aid of the microscope,ight thrown upon
larly as regardfng• the investigation of the teeth particu-
larly in extinct
fossil animals. Microscopic investigation, connected
d as it is
with the minute points 0 science, lends its di • '
at the point
where all ordinary means fail. The operations of this society
must be very extensive, for microscopic investigation was
important to the botanist and the chemist, as well as the
geologist, particularly, in examining fossil vegetable struc-
tures. Mr. Jackson next read a paper on an improved con-
struction of a microscope, by which in any motion produced,
that of the lens, as well
the object, were connected, and
as
a steadiness in the motion was secured. , Several microscopes
of improved construction were exhibited by the members.
The present subscription to the society is one guinea per
annum, with one guinea entrance.
