Abstract
THE Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society for October contains a further instalment of Mr. F. W. Miilett's paper on recent Foraminifera of the Malay Archipelago; a short article on a new projection eyepiece and an improved polarising eyepiece, by Mr. E. B. Stringer; and the conclusion of Mr. E. M. Nelson's note on the microscopes of Powell, Ross, and Smith, the present instalment dealing with the instruments of Smith and Beck (now Messrs. R. and J. Beck, Ltd.). In the summary of recent researches in microscopy is an interesting description (with illustrations) of a microscope, with its oculars and objectives, used by Prof. Amici, the discoverer in 1841 of the part played by the pollen-tube in the fertilisation of flowering plants. Nothing would more forcibly illustrate the enormous advance made during the past sixty years in the manufacture of the microscope and its appliances.
