Abstract
FOR some eighty years, the Quekett Microscopical Club has taken a leading part in the development of microscopy, and many leading research workers have been included on its membership roll and have recorded the results of their work in its journal. Thanks to the courtesy of the Royal Society, the Club, which at present has a membership of nearly three hundred and fifty, is now meeting at Burlington House, Piccadilly, where the Club's library and slide cabinet are again available, after having been removed to safety in the country during the last four years. Meetings are held as originally, on the second and fourth Tuesday in each month, the earlier being an ordinary (lecture) meeting, whereas the latter is devoted to the exhibition of specimens, apparatus and general discussion. On Saturday afternoons, collecting excursions are conducted and visits to places of interest to microscopists are arranged. The affairs of the Club are managed by two secretaries: Mr. E. P. Herlihy, 76 Brook Green, London, W.6, dealing with business matters, and Dr. James Davidson, 41 Brampton Grove, London, N.W.4, with scientific matters and papers.
