Abstract
THE Journal of the Quekett Microscopical Club for October 1872, contains but three papers, of which the first is a short one by Dr. Guy, F.R.S., on the “Hand Illuminator Microscope,” which is followed by a more elaborate communication of considerable length, by Mr. M. C. Cooke, on “Old Nettle Stems and their Micro-fungi,” in which twenty-seven species of fungi are enumerated and described which develop themselves on the old stems of the common nettle.—C. H. Peck, of Albany, U.S., communicates an article on the disease of plum and cherry trees in the United States known as “black knot,” and his observations on the structure and growth of the Sphæria morbosa (Schweinitz) which accompanies, or causes, these gouty excrescences. The record of the proceedings of the club completes the contents of the present number.
