Abstract
THE current issue of the Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society (vol. 53, pt. 1) contains Mr. Conrad Beck's presidential address on microscope illumination, which should be read for its useful observations on the substage condenser in relation to the objective. In the same issue Dr. P. Gray summarises and classifies in convenient form the methods of fixation of animal tissues which have been found most successful for different purposes, and Mr. D. P. Wilson describes a simple and inexpensive apparatus for trimming paraffin blocks, which can be used upon a Cambridge rocking microtome and will be found particularly useful for trimming small blocks so as to ensure a straight ribbon of sections when the block is being cut.
