Synopsis

Quarterly Journal Of Microscopical Science by Edwin Lankester and George Busk. This issue, part of Volume VII—New Series, presents a comprehensive collection of 1866–1867 microscopic research and related notes edited by prominent 19th-century scientists. It comprises original communications on diverse topics: W. H. Ransom discusses the structure and growth of the ovarian ovum in Gasterosteus leiurus; J. Barker describes a new microscopic growing-stage; J. Lewis details the effects of the electric spark on different materials and fibres; J. Barker and colleagues describe new diatom genera and the anatomy of growing diatom forms; Eugene O’Meara reports new Arran diatoms; and Lindsay surveys the Protophyta of New Zealand, including Diatomaceæ and Desmidiaceæ. The volume also contains translations (Schultze’s retina study), reviews of contemporary natural history works, and notes on microscopic techniques and instruments. Proceedings of scientific societies, obituaries, and a robust program of field excursions and slide exchanges reflect the era’s vigorous growth of microscopy and its community of scholars. The volume serves as both scientific record and guide to Victorian microscopy practice and inquiry.
