Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society, 1887: Containing Its Transactions and Proceedings, and a Summary of Current Researches Relating to Zoology and Botany (Principally Invertebrata and Cryptogamia) Microscopy, Part 1 I have left unnoticed the services of Mr. J Arthur Thomson, who has recently undertaken, with no little success, a part of the Zoology, and of Dr. Hebb, who has practically had complete charge of the Technique section, with what result the pages of the last two volumes of the Journal abundantly show. This omission arises from the fact that I have been dealing not only with the quality of the services rendered by the three senior Cc-editors, but also with the remarkable length of time over which those services have extended, and in which respect they at present stand alone. It is to be hoped that the increased circulation of the Journal outside the Society may allow of some adequate return in a substantial form being made to the Cc-editors, and, meantime, I tender to them not merely my own thanks but those of the Fellows of the Society at large, and I h0pe and believe those of a still wider circle of biologists and microscopists also.
