By All Microscopists who care to know what is going on at home or abroad should take in THE MONTHLY MICROSCOPICAL JOURNAL. Transactions of the Royal Microscopical Society, and Record of Histological Research at Home and Abroad. THIS HIS Journal is devoted exclusively to the interests of Microscopical Science in the widest and most accurate sense of the term. It contains not only the proceedings of the Royal Microscopical Society, but also embraces communications from the leading Histologists of Great Britain, the Continent, and America, with a comprehensive résumé of the latest Foreign Inquiries, Critical Reviews and Short Notices of the more important works, Bibliographical Lists, and Descriptions of all new and improved forms of Microscopes and Miscroscopic Apparatus; Correspondence on all matters of Histological Controversy; and finally, a Department of "Notes and Queries,” in which the student can put such questions as may elicit the special information he desires to obtain. The Editor has also made arrangements for the publication of the most important Papers read before Local Associations. Contributions requiring illustration are accompanied by most carefully-drawn Plain or Coloured Plates, and the text is printed in clear and legible type, thus affording the Microscopist a readable Monthly Record of all that takes place in the branches of science specially interesting to him. By thus providing a journal at once thoroughly scientific, advanced, and comprehensive, and issued at such short intervals as to meet the requirements of active investigators, the Publisher hopes to receive the support of all workers with the Microscope, and the assistance and cooperation of all who desire to possess a periodical which creditably represents the labours of British and Foreign Histologists. The Monthly Microscopical Journal, Volume 1, price 10s. 6d., 392 Pages of Letter-press, 17 whole-page Plates, and numerous Woodcuts, contains :— Structure of Papillæ and Termination of Nerves in Muscle of Common Relation of Microscopic Fnngi to Cho- A Modification of the Binocular Micro- The Vital Functions of the Deep-Sea Immersion Objectives and Test-Objects.
