By Lionel Beale, M.B., Professor of )^livsiolo2:yand General and Morbid Anatomy in Kings College,London, The Microscope which I wish to bring under the notice ofthe Society, seems to me to possess some advantages overthose in ordinary use in simplicity of construction, in thenumber of uses to Avhich it may be applied, and in price.The accompanying outline diagrams show the general ar-rangement of the instrument. The telescope stem, a, andhorizontal arm, h, upon which the body, e, is fixed by the aidof a hinge-joint, e, are made of brass tubes, about an inch indiameter. Upon the outside of the stem the stage, f, andmirror, g, are made to slide.
