MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY.—The first meeting of a society
whose objects are " to promote improvements in the optical
and mechanical construction of microscopes, the reading and
discussion of papers upon new and interesting subjects of
microscopical inquiry, and the exhihition of subjects," took
place on Wednesday evening, in the rooms of the Horticul-
tural Society, Regent-street; Professor Owen, F.R.S., the
President, in the chair. The meeting was well attended, and
there were present many of the leading members of the I Geo-
logical Society, the Society of Arts, and several other pro-
minent institutions. Dr. Arthur Farre was appointed
secretary ; Mr. N. B. Ward, treasurer; and a council was
also formed, consisting of Dr. Lindley, Dr. F. Farre, Messrs.
Loddies, Quekett, Solly, Gwilp, Bowerbank, &c. The pre-
sident read a paper illustrative of the light thrown upon
zoology and geology by the aid of the microscope, particu-
larly as regardfng the investigation of the teeth in extinct
fossil animals. Microscopic investigation, connected as it is
with the minute points of science, lends its aid 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
