Abstract
THIS report of the proceedings of the American Microscopical Society at the nineteenth annual meeting, held at Pittsburg in August of last year, is a very creditable publication. Many of the papers are distinctly valuable contributions to science, and the plates which illustrate them are of a high standard of excellence. Among the subjects and authors are the following:—Notes on comparative histology of blood and muscle, by Miss Edith J. Claypole; the character of the epithelium of the peritoneum of the tailed amphibia of the Cayuga lake basin, by Miss I. M. Green; several interesting papers on photomicrography, and on water supply; the red blood corpuscle in legal medicine, by Dr. M. C. White (accompanying this paper are some fine photo-engravings of blood corpuscles of man and various animals, magnified × 10,850, 2560, 840, and 640 diameters); yeasts and their relation to malignant tumours, by Dr. A. R. Defendorf; the bacteriology of diphtheria, by Dr. C. F. Craig; and an instructive address by the President, Dr. A. Clifford Mercer, on the effect of aperture as a factor in microscopic vision.
